I'm beginning to think this may be a great option if I can get one used for a more reasonable price. I'm in Savannah GA, and electricity can get pricy quick in the summer when everyone is running their AC units. One cause for concern.No it isn't and they will have two power cords. Two bulbs each....Will give you lot's of color options and flexibility. Also on a 40 gallon the power won't be too bad.
I want to have a mixed reef tank. I was thinking of starting with some soft corals and LPS since they have lower flow requirements than SPS. Still just setting up the tank though, so I'm flexible if you think I'd be better off going another route.There’s this option as well. It really comes down to budget in the end.
what’s your vision for your reef and what’s your budget for lighting.
