Hello everyone I am just now looking into upgrading my lighting and starting to grow coral in this tank. I have had multiple tanks and done decent in the past. Up until this point my large tank has been fish only. I’ve done away with all my other tanks, going to put all my time money and effort into this one.
Here are a few of my concerns. Money is a concern. Tank is 36” deep. With the biggest concern being cross bracing. I will attach a picture below of the top of the tank. Side bracing is 5” wide and 2 x center braces at 10” wide. From top of tank to ceiling is also 19”.
I’m looking for Leds or a led t5 hybrid set up. I am mainly interested in softies and lps. I like the movement of softies and the vibrant colors of certain lps. Chalices being my favorite. I may do a few sps in the future but it will never be a full sps tank.
Specs on tank 525 gallon 96x36x36. 180 gallon sump. 1000# of live rock. Been running over 2 years.
