light recomendations for fowlr

[Stroja62]

hi all,

i am running a 75g fowlr and i want to upgrade from my marine land strip lights. i want to order 2 ai hydra 32 or 2 kessil 360 tuna sun. i did however find the fluval marine 3.0 locally. it is the only marine lighting i can get locally.

so my question is would the fluval be enough or should i order one of the others. and will the ai or kessil be too strong?

Go AI ,,, May as well get a bonafied Reef light, but just get one instead of 2 ....never know, may reserve the option to upgrade to a reef tank later

The Fluval 3.0 will be just fine for a FOWLR. Get the 4 foot 59 watt one. That being said, if you want corals eventually, the fixture is only 59 watts of LED, it won't work well.

AI and Kessil won't be too strong, since you can dim them. It's just up to you if you want to spend the extra money and if you may want corals in the future.

If its going to be fish only, and never have any corals, any full spectrum led will work and make it so you can see your fish and not cost you a fortune.
