Hi all,
New to the forum, and I have to say this might become my new favorite!
Anyways, I have a 6' x 3' x 27" deep 300 gallon tank on the way and I need to select lighting. This will be a FOWLR tank for at least the first 5 years or so, then I will get back into coral. I want to keep sharks and eels and cool stuff like that for awhile. I had a reef for about 6 years prior to this tank and I always wanted to get certain fish but could not.
So here are my requirements: LED, lights must dim up and down automaticly to simulate sunrise and sunset, dark areas can occur in caves or rock at the edges of the tank, I would like them to be able to grow coraline algee. Lights will be in a canopy.
That's it! I'm hoping that these lights are inexpensive. In 5 years or so when I change to a reef I'm sure LED technology will be much better, so I am assume these lights will be removed completely.
Thanks,
Nate
