I've been setting up a 20H. The intention is to keep some coral, mostly soft and maybe some LPS. Right now, it has a 96W PC light. It's a 20" fixture with one 50/50 bulb. I really don't think that's going to be good for much coral. I'm looking to upgrade it.
One option is a 24W x 4 T5 light. Possibly the AquaticLife 24", 4 Lamp Fixture with LED Moon lights.
The other option is some sort of LED setup. Due to cost, I'm probably looking at either DIY or PAR38.
I kind of like the simplicity of the PAR38s, but I'm not sure how many I would need, which beam angle, or which color(s). I like the idea of the T5 setup so I can have separate Dawn/Dusk and Daylight lights.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Other ideas are always welcome!
