How would you recommend lighting a 92 corner tank for a mostly lps tank? Dimensions on the triangle are ~36” sides and 48” on the hypotenuse (of course, front is actually curved).

ideally, I’d like to stay under $600 for the lighting.

Other options I already have.

2 Current USA strip lights (came with tank) and is growing shrooms, zoas, and a few frogspawn

1 Nano Nemolight (13 watts and not adjustable or dimmable)

Red Sea Max 250 hood with 6 33” T5’s

Generic supposed 20k LED spotlight fixture.

I have a 155 corner. For mine I used LED and T5s. I used the retrofit kits from BRS 24" in the back and 48" in the front. I would supplement your 36 with a 24" and would probably provide more than adequate light for your LPS. Mine is for an SPS tank and I have 3 Radion pros between the two T5 fixtures. If you wanted to use some LEDs you could try the Orphek light bars. They come in 24 and 36. I have not used these but do have an Orphek fixture on one of my tanks and have been happy with it.

  • None! My inverts are model citizens. :-)
