New Lighting

[Yanir34]

Hello !
I decided what lightning fixture will be over my new SPS dominate tank :
ATI power module 10×54w + 2 kessil 360x.
Lamps combination will be :
7 blue plus
2 coral plus
1 Fiji purple (korallen zucht)

T5's will run for 9 hours.

Kessil's will run for 14 hours ( 2 hour sunset, 2 hours sunrise)

tank demenission will be : 130 cm long , 80 cm wide 65 cm height.

what do you think about this setup ?

Doesn't the Power Module have LEDs in it already? Where will you put the Kessils, with the T5 fixture covering the tank? An LED bar of some kind might be better in this scenario.

That power module is not the hybrid version , it's only T5.
The kessil's will "break" the blanket of the T5 ,and will give strong shimmer and extra color pop

You may not notice the kessil with that many T5s running. You'll find out, i guess.

Will you put the LEDs in front, angled to the back?

exactly, they will be at the front at 45 degree

10x T5s is very European and I love it.

You can probably turn the kessils off when you are not watching the tank and turn them on when you are. They won't add anything over the T5s except for you... save the running time and electricity.

Order extra CP bulbs so that you can swap for color. That many blue plus is usually a bit like windex for most people.

Where I live, lighting that T5 is like 45 cents a day. A bargain for a best-of-breed type of light.
