Lighting questions for 36x36x30 cube

[Hausser]

I am planning a 36x36x30 cube build i would like to know what everyone who have DD cubes run on their cubes. my last tank was a 300 marineland DD and i ran 6 radion gen 3 on the tank. that tank was just to big for the in wall spot i put it. i am curious if any one runs a 36" ATI 8x39 fixture and if any one MH/T5 on their larger cubes. if you have any picture plase share.

Thank You

I'm running a Reefbrite MH/LED over the same tank with a 400W radium. I changed from 2 hydra 52's and 2x 24W T5.

I've got photos of the coral and the ceiling mounts in my thread.

I've got a pair of Radion G4 Pros over mine. I had a 400 watt Hamilton halide over it previously, and may be going back to it. My real draw to having LEDs is that I work second shift and can use twilight settings so the family can see a fully lit tank in the evening and I can get a glimpse when I'm home.

Not that my tank is in a condition to say that I'm right, but I think this tank would be served very well with a 400 watt halide with a couple Reefbrite strips for color tuning and twilight use.

I'm pretty tempted to sell my G2 Radions for Reefbrite strips and see what happens.

I am probably going to run MH and 2 radions if i can fit them, i can see selling mine just to purcashe a different brand led. i like the control ability of the radions and i may be able to manipulate some coral colors buy doing so. nice thing about the radions is i can adjust the power.

Im going to be building a floating canopy and supplementing with 2 t5 strips and led moon lights for effect.... I love my 400 watt. I wouldnt recommend anything else

I did that and believe it would be good in a 200DD, but it's too wide for the 150. A huge amount of the light from the Radions just turns the glass into an ATS.

Here is mine, which is a modified RMS mount.
