Best Lighting fixture no matter the price!

[reef_lover24881]

What would be the best lighting fixture for my 34g solana? price does not matter! I currently have a current USA 250 watt HQI fixture but am looking to replace it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You're gonna open a can of worms with this one. I like my Evolution LEDs. I replaced a 175 watt Iwasaki 15k setup with them.

Thumbs up for me on the 119w Evolution LEDs. My red planet is growing very quickly and very nice color. Only thing about the fixture are the fans make to much noise.

i perfer T5 HO lights. ATI has many different colors you can choose from to make your tank look just how you would like

Im really liking the AI 12" LED Light w/controller so far.

Theres not many options for lighting on a 34 Solona.

If I were you,personally,I would stick with MH,Sanjay talked about LED's at CRAZE,and he stated alot of things about them,good and bad.

If I were you,I would get a good 250MH set up,and then get some LED's for supp's.I like the depth that MH provide and I like the fine shimmer provided by the LED',best of both worlds.

Or you could go with t5's,6 bulb,keep anything you want with that!

Do as you wish though.Im not sure what corals you keep,but solonas make sick SPS tanks!

giesemann infiniti 24" fixture
itll overhang 2" on each side but i think its one of the nicer looking fixtures

It really depends on the look that you like.

I personally like the look of T5s as they look calmer to me.

MH are very nice but a bit to flashy for my taste.

I am still waiting for the LED technology to mature a little
more and that will probably be what I will go with someday.

I currently run a 119w LED fixture over my Solana, it replaced my 150w Coralife Aqualight pro...I love it...BUT, I just picked up a 10x24w ATI Powermodule which I might just have to throw that on the tank lol...maybe run only 8 bulbs haha...thoughts?

Gotta get it out of Canada
