Help me decide frag tank lighting

[LukeV]

I can't decide what light I want to use on my frag tank. The tank is approx 30x30 and 1' deep. I am considering getting the AI prime, but can't make up my mind. Any suggestions that aren't overly expensive? Looking to stay in the $200-300 range. Also let me know if you have anything for sale.

Mainly LPS and zoos, but maybe a few SPS in the future

A 6 bulb t5 would do the trick. I am using a 24" on my 29 gallon. The trick is to turn the legs to where they rest on the front and back of the tank. Or you could hang it

You can pick up a Gen 2 radion and throw on the wide angle lens
