Hi all!
I have kind of an interesting setup, it’s a 40g cube (22x22x22) and frag tank with the same foot print to match (22x22x10) plumbed together into one sump (can attach some photos if anyone’s curious!). Currently I’m running a Gen 4 XR30 on the 40g cube and two AI Primes on the frag tank. My initial plan was to run one side of the frag tank as sps and one side zoas/ lps, which is why I opted for two separate primes. I’m now leaning more towards doing all SPS in the frag tank and have been entertaining the idea of a metal halide/led hybrid. This is a basement tank so heat is not an issue.
My question is, what are my options? I have no experience with halides so I’m not fully grasping what I’ve been researching. I love the idea of the 400w hybrid fixture from reefbrite but surely that would be too much light for my situation right? Are there any other alternatives or am I grasping at straws?
Any and all input is welcome as I’m pretty much clueless on the matter, thanks!
