Fluval Spec V - SPS 5 gallon pico lightning

[v4zquez]

Hello everybody, I have a fluval spec V (5 Gallons) with only corals. I'm planning to add some SPS corals but I'm not sure if my Current USA Orbit Marine LED 18 inch and 18 watts (36 Dual Daylight/36 Dual Actinic LEDs, 72 LEDs Total) can support them. The light is a combination of 8,000K/12,000K white along with 445nm/460nm actinic blue. What do you think, any experience with other led or T5 fixtures in tanks that size?

Thank you beforehand!

kessil or even a wave point

Do you think the kessil would be a little overkilling? by the way the wavepoint led fixtures I found on Amazon are even less powerful than the Orbit. Do you refer to a specific model?

I found the AI Prime LED Module by Aqua Illumination, but as well as the kessil, I'm wondering if the may fry the corals in such small tank.

They're both going to be overkill but you're gonna want that just in case.

But the wave point is great. I've had awesome success with it. But you're putting this over a 5 gallon tank... You really don't need s lot of power.

I have that tank in my daughters room. It's nice.
