Probably going back to LED

Love my ATI sunpower but its just not giving me the pop that my corals have potential for. Thinking 2 quanta bars meso blue and 2-3 A360's between them on a 48x20x20 tank.

Will probably keep the sunpower if I decide to start another tank or as a backup. Its dependable.

T5 Doesnt add pop leds do. But T5 adds growth and full SPS colors with no shades on the corals which led does. I would add 2 strips of Leds Meso Blue or AI Blades which are lighter in weight then the Meso Blues

Here is my tank for reference

yea i know. I just thought that i would try it to reduce shadowing. I won’t buy blades as i feel they are far overpriced for what you get.

You could try the market place and find some used. The reason I used Blades its because they are very lite in weight compared to Orphek OR3 or Meso Blue bars that weight 4-5 pounds per bar

Hard to beat the Quanta Meso’s. Can pretty much combine them with any fixture, the mounts for radions make them a clean option, just have to deal with the radion price tag . Xr15 and 360 are not too far off price wise, though.
