Hello guys. I've got a 8x54 sunpower in a tank 120x50x50 (cm) but the bill is too salty. Is there a way to save even just 100 watts and breed still the best of all sps?
 
I would pick up two 165 Mars Aqua LED fixtures. Although they are advertised as 165 W (55, 3W LEDs), at full power, they are only about 120W (only push the LEDs up to about 2.1W each). Because the tank is relatively shallow, I'd consider pulling the lenses off. You'll be able to grow everything. So (8x54) 432 watts versus about 240 watts. In full disclosure, you will most likely see some of your colors change in color.
 
I thank you for the answer. But I passed by the LEDs to t5 just because I could not raise acropora demanding. Previously I had two razor 120w 16000K
