On my IM40 I have a 4-bulb 24" Odyssea fixture with 2x ATI Coral-Plus, 1x ATI Blue-Plus and 1x ATI Actinic. I also have a PAR38 bulb that I use on the weekends when I don't want to wait 4 hours for T5 schedule to come on. Also have an AI Prime HD on my IM10.
I've been trying to figure out my next move. I hated the regular Odyssea legs over my stand, so I built a quick wood stand and I think I hate that even more. I don't think I could justify spending more than $300-400 on a light fixture, but it also has to have full 24" coverage of the tank and be powerful enough to feed my SPS and anemones and get through 18-19" of water...oh and it needs to be sleek and attractive. Thinking about taking the AI Prime HD, getting another one, and putting them onto the IM40, then putting a Kessil A80 on the IM10. Especially after seeing everything at MACNA. I need some shimmer in my tank!
EDIT: I hope this question gets polled every 6 months. I feel like lighting is changing the most in this hobby. I also am hoping that this hits like 10-15 pages and I can compile some data.
