Lighting a 5' x 3' tank

[YHSublime]

I would love to do metal halides, but can't justify the cost of the electric, heat, and bulbs vs. LED.
I'd venture to say the same about T5.

Which leaves me with pretty much LED.

Looking hard into the Orphek's. In this case x2 of the Atlantik V4 (gen2) lights. I'd like to see as little mounting points as possible, and would like to hear what others have to say.



Picture for interest:

They would be more than enough. Have 2 on a 72 inch.

thats alot of area to cover! could do a E-Z tube frame? that would bring you down to four suspension wires goin to the ceiling then you could add led's to the frame to "spotlight" your corals. you would have to be into the whole industrial/japanese vibe...
