Tank has shipped. Innovative marine for the win!! Special thanks to Xiaoxiy for all the extra help. Now the fun stuff starts! I appreciate everyone’s help making my decision. I’m not good with commitment according to my wife of 20+ years. She thought 8 years of dating was excessive.

I have the 112. the 36" depth is amazing. I liked the 4' wide but it was too big to get the doors open in my space.

Been thinking Reefi for my second light but wonder if I will need to supplement. The quanta pros seem good but the Orpheks are only 20$ more for the bar. Would I really need to mount them 16” above the sand? Seems higher than I want the Reefi.

I suspect you won't need supplementation with two Reefi Duo Extremes. Before I went to a more softie/LPS display, I ran 2 Reefi Duo Extremes over the 150 and grew SPS like weeds.

Mines the newer uno 2.0. Good spread if I mount high enough.

You might need supplements with the Uno given the compact size factor.. That being said, I have a single one covering a 24x30x8 area, mounted I think at 16-20 inches high over the frag tank.
