I pulled my refugium a few months ago ago after starting bio pellets. Now I have this empty space. I'm considering using it as a frag tank. Lighting is my main issue here. I have t5's on the main system and would love to go that way but with that size it just doesn't seem possible. So on to LEDs. What suggestions do you have that would work there. My first thought was a 12x3watt eshines unit. I figured it would be plenty but not sure. What do you have available? It must be SPS capable. But not looking to spend a fortune. Thanks in advance.

They actually just made a post this morning. So Im sure they saw it. Ive heard good things about the lights so I was hoping to hear something from them. I considered a Par 38 but with that kind of spread I figure id lose some punch and seeing as though Im looking for something that will cover SPS that might not do it. Ive actually been leaning towards T5 so I guess it really doesn't matter anyway. Thanks for the help, both of you.
