My tank is 72 long, 24 wide, and 30 high. Right now I run 8 x 54 watt HO T5's on two Vue660 Ballasts. I'm getting growth, but not as fast as I'd like. Plus, I'm not crazy about the fluorescent look. I won't change to Halides for heat and electric cost purposes.
Which brings be to LEDs. My tank is built in the wall so fixtures I could hang off the ceiling would be best. Another issue is that my tank was custom-made and done so poorly for a reef tank because it has a 5/8" glass panel across the top middle about a foot wide.
So, would the LED's penetrate the glass?
What is the best LED fixture(s) I could get for this set up? I keep LPS low in the tank and SPS medium to high. I'm not rich, but money is not an issue when it comes to my tank, LoL. I rather get the best possible setup for a few more bucks and maybe not eat for a few days so that my fish can eat, haha!
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
