I’m in the process of upgrading my tank and naturally I’m exploring upgrading my lights. The lights are going to be suspended from a canopy which is attached by and arm that is screwed to the back of my stand. The plan is to have an SPS Dominated tank with a zoa garden. Tank is is 24x15.5x15
Here are my current options:
-3 AI Primes (Currently running 2)
-1 ReefBreeder Photon V2 16 (maybe 24)
-Aquatic life hybrid w/ 2 primes (will probably cause light spill)
-1 4x24 ATI T5 (would eventually add reefbrites or OR3s)
My concerns with the LED fixtures is shadowing. Other than that I really see no reason not to go with them. My concern with the T5 fixture and hybrid fixture is mainly the weight being too much for the canopy or arm (since it won’t actually cover the whole tank). But, I really like T5s.
So, what would you pick? Any other options I should explore?
