Lighting for 30 breeder acropora frag tank

[Velcro]

I'm plumbing a 30 breeder (36x18x12) into my system soon and trying to plan lighting. I currently run all led on my display and would like to change things up for the frag tank. Thinking either halide or t5.

For halide I'm thinking about two of the Bimini sun 150 reflectors.

If doing t5 I'm thinking about a cheap Amazon agriculture fixture, but they don't do a 36"fixture. It would have to be a 24" and I think I could get away with 4 bulbs due to the 12" height.

What do you all think

With the t5 you’ll be happier with 6.

If the ballast are cheap you may not get the output you want or what’s considered a standard output like ati. Figure 165 par (I use 150) per tube at 12in in the middle area.

Not familiar with the Bimini sun. But 2 150 is PLENTY .
