I currently have a SPS LED system thats about 3 years old. I have had good growth but have never been happy with coral color. I have a Vertex Illumina LED fixture that has all the bells and whistles but no mater what I do my coral color, greens, reds do not seem to do well. I've had my white lights down to 10% and things did color up a little but not the crayon color we all look for. Ive read an article that talked about light intensity that made a lot of sense, basically you need the right intensity as well as photo period, a balance I've yet to achieve. So I've considered switching to MH system. I have a 180 gallon system that is 6'X2'X2' that has a canopy. I'd like to put all the lighting inside the canopy and I'm wanting suggestions. Also if your making a suggestion please include a link so that I can look up the system. Also if you know of someone selling a used MH system I may be interested.
I'd like to see what your suggestions are, ie: MH light and what bulb as well as accent lighting and cooling method.
