Going to have to decide soon how best to upgrade my lighting, just getting more confused guys.....So I have a 120gal tank 60" long x 18"wide x 24" deep, current lighting is by an Arcadia T5 luminaire this should give me 4x56W T5s but one of the ballasts broke and now it is down to 2 fixtures working currently have a pure actinic tube and a 50/50(actinic/14000K white) I have also a Kessil 160 on the LHS with gooseneck and a Kessil 360 on a gooseneck to the right of my tank. The tank is divided very def from right to left on the left side is all branching live rock with Xenia types growing in it also an orange paddle sponge a sun coral a couple of Gorgs and 2 Lobos.....on the right I have softies polyps and loads of Euphyllia and Acans I have a few SPS in the form of green purple and orange plating monti and 2 Hystrix frags which although growing are a horrible brown colour all the time despite running the 360 Kessil as high as 75% intensitiy and dosing trace elements.
So future plans are more LPS mainly and zoas, I want a few colorful Acros at some point(really like Bali Slimers) asnd I want my Hystrix to color up so I want to keep my lighting options open I suppose. My current plan was to add 2 Radion Gen 3 pros one on each side from the back on the bracket you can get with the 2 Kessils on either side glass of the tank(obviously the T5 unit is going), wondering if maybe I could get away with adding one Radion to RHS and keeping the 2 Kessils on the left(I want to fill the sand bed between the branches with Scolys and Trachys)....so what do you guys think 1 or 2 rads ? Also thought of adding one of the smaller Radion pros to the left with the bigger Kessil and the small Kessil large Rad on right(still a big saving)....
