Hello,
I’ve been reading a lot about adding supplemental lights to existing fixture.
I have a 60” X 24” X 24” mixed reef with a fare amount of acros.
As it stands the tank is doing well with 3 Radion XR 15’s and a tank mounted rail.
Growth is good and I now understand what poor placement of corals does on the long run.
Shadowing is becoming an issue and I’ve been reading the endless debates over T5’s and LED strips.
I would very much like to add whatever strips to the existing mount and not hang from the ceiling. It would seem that my major problem is from the front where encrusting and shelving corals are shadowing each other .
I’d appreciate any ideas and recommendations. Thanks

You’ll be very happy with an Orphek OR3-150 which is a Par Monster

thanks guys, looked at both those lights and see there is a price difference and most people seem to like the OR3. I'm leaning that way and thinking the Blue?
