Hmm Ai Prime wouldn't work without getting creative to mount it due to the hob filters so I'm debating on ordering the Marine 3.0 Friday. To be honest I'm not all that interested in soft corals, the idea of gsp sounds cool but bet I will regret it once it takes the tank over. Probably could find other lights that would work but this is the simple way out.
Might take a gamble on a tank raised rbta locally, thinking the marine 3.0 should be enough light. Top rocks are only about 6" from the water surface, next row down is maybe 9", about 12" or so from the sandbed to the surface, sandbed varies between 4-5". From what I read it should be fine light level wise but I could be wrong. Think the flow should be plenty, no idea what the filters are pushing for flow, the live rock rubble slows the flow down, 2 ac110 and 1 ac50. Powerheads are the Koralia 425's, will have to diy a guard for them.
Only big question is if my rockscape will work for a rbta, they are only 1-2" currently but not sure how it will work if it spreads out to it's possible 12". Would have to sell/rehome if it ever split obviously. It's the opposite direction of my usual lfs and I haven't been to this one yet so it's worth the trip just to check the place out. Fingers crossed the clowns decide to host in it but to be honest I would be glad just to see them more instead of hiding in the back waiting for copepods.
