Lights for frag tank??

[jboone82590]

Ok so I have got a 75 gallon tank and I'm putting an 18x18x10 frag tank right next to it so the frags aren't in the middle of the DT so I have a few questions.

First is what light should I use for the frag tank? I plan on mostly going zoas but I'm starting to do a Monti in the tank I have now and it's growing great so I may move to some hard coral also in the future so I want a light that's good enough for both. On my 75 I am going with the fluval marine because that's what I have on my 29 right now and it is growing my coral really good but any suggestions would be great.

2nd questions is what does everyone dose in there mixed reef tank?

3rd question is what fish could i put in there? I have 2 clown fish, 1 coral beautie, 1 diamond goby, 1 lawnmower blenny, and I'm getting a file fish in a week or so. What else could I do I know I would like to get 2 more clowns but maybe some more?

There's a pic of the tank thanks.

I'm using a Ecotech XR30W over mine. Love the control and color. Of course par is good for anything!

That's a little to much for the price range I'm in

T5s are also a good choice. Just make sure to get good bulbs. I use ATI bulbs and my tank is doing very well with them.

I want to do LEDS but I did not know there where better or worse bulbs

You don't think that would be do much for a tank that's 18x18x10?

it's dimmable so you can adjust it to your liking

I just think it would look bad with how big the light will be and I'll have to move it just to get to the coral
