I am setting up a fish building thanks to my fantastic wife. :)

I have kind of a dilema:

(this is posted in my build thread as well)

I have three a360we, two a160we and two a150 deep ocean blue. Along with that I have 3 Prime HD and a ton of DIY supplies for LEDs.

I want to light the reef and the frag tanks with Kessils.

It will be a frag tank on either side of the reef on a common steel stand. The frag tanks are 30x30x10 and the reef is 36x36x18.

I can get more Primes and go with them also.

Suggestions on layout?

My thought was the 360s on the reef and a 160 and 150 on each frag tank.

I might get a fourth prime and use them on the FOWLR 240.

I plan on a little of everything once the reef starts growing out more. I am moving all the existing coral from my 240 (which isn't a lot) and adding some SPS to the mix.

Figured it out on my own.

Going to use a 150 and 160 on each frag tank and two 360s on the reef and keep one for reserve in case something happens.

The primes (adding one) will be on the FOWLR but turned down to just provide viewing light.
