Lighting question T5/led

[Jcagle09]

So I'm looking for lighting for a 40x24 tank is a hybrid T5/LED my best bet for a good mixed reef tank and not break the bank? I'm looking at the Aquatic life hybrid. Dont know which led yet if I go this route. Help me out.

I have the aquatic life hybrid 48” with two Current USA LEDs. I’ve seen growth in my softies and LPS, I don’t have any SPS.

I have a couple of the 48” Aquatic Life hybrids and love them.

What LeDs you put in them are up to you, but as a fixture it’s very nice

Led gives you great controllability and shimmer. T5 gives you great light saturation. Either can and will grow coral. Combine both gets you close to metal halide look from my understanding

Should I go with a 48 in or a 36in since my tank is 40inches?
