So I will most likely be inheriting a mature 110 from a friend. His tank has very powerful (I believe) lights but I am used to Kessils at 75% power so not too strong.
The thing is I am also getting his coral colonies. I don’t want any of them to struggle anymore than needed during the stressful move.
The kicker is that his tank is in his garage so it is passively cooled. I live in a mobile home so two big metal halids would make it super hot.
Any suggestions?
I am currently thinking 3 or 4 kessil AW360s. I may consider 2 radion 30x or what ever they are called lol.
My current tank: 1 Kessil Aw360
24x24x20

His tank: 2 metal halids, 4 t5s(pretty sure only 2 work). Also has Reef brites but he hardly ever runs them.

3 of those kessils should do it. I have 4 on my 48x37x27 with some other leds on it as well. My plan is to add 2 more kessil and get rid of the other leds. Totally different layout, but my tank is close to yours in length but much deeper.
