So I'm thinking of finally making the switch from MH's to LED's for a couple reasons...
-I don't have as many sps as in the past and have turned my tank into more of a mixed reef with sps, lps and softies
-I like the look of led's better than halides
-My temps get really warm in the summer with halides, sometimes approaching 83 degrees
I currently have led/t5 reefbrite strips on the front and back of my tank with (2) 250w 20k Radium halides in the middle. My thought would be to keep the strips and simply replace the halides with a pair of Radion G5's.
I've drawn a diagram to show what I'm thinking. The led's would basically sit above each island. Does anyone have any thoughts either way about my plans? My tank is 60" long (4" on the right is covered by an overhang due to it being a built-in). It's 30" deep and around 26" tall.
