I'm almost ready to set up my new 48x30x20. I want to pull the trigger on the lighting, but just no sure yet. so need some in put.
1. 4xKessil 160's
2. 2xKessil 360's with 2 ATI T5's

Mixed reef.

I'd go with option 2. You get the best of both worlds. I have mine done with Kessil a360we and 2 t5s. I get the fabulous shimmer and overall look of the Kessils along with the more even lighting from the t5s to eliminate the shadows. I use the Kessils for sunrise sunset effect and have the t5s on during the peak for 6 hours. I use true actinic and purple plus bulbs.
