I have a 225 gallon aquarium. 96"x18"x30" so its tall and long. I was running 400w halides and then switched to Aqua Illumination LED, but now am not seeing great color out of my sps. If i was to switch lighting what would you use?
 
Your gonna run out of options. With a 30" tall tank I would go with the 400w halides but I have no experience with LED's. Guess you could always try out T5s though.
 
Not to be rude but I would try to get a different tank that foot print has got to make it a pain to keep a reef, especiallt at 30" tall. with the money that you are dropping on light you could get a new tank and stand.
 
yeah i realized that after buying the tank a year and a half ago. now i feel like its kinda too late to make a change that drastic
