Hi everyone,
I've got a DAS tank with a corner overflow (48Lx18Wx30T) newly established reef tank (still cycling), and I'm confused on what to do with the lighting.
So far, it's being lighted by a single Kessil A360WE over the center. Unfortunately, it is divided into thirds by the horizontal supports, so using 2 lights seems like it might be impossible, due to shadows created by the supports. Is there any way to use two A360s, maybe by angling them inward and mounting over the two outer portions of the tank, or would I be better off with buying 2 A160s and just dividing the tank into thirds, with the 360 in the middle? I'm just concerned that the 160s won't have enough juice to do anything useful over a 30" tall tank.
Are there any lighting experts who could give me some guidance on this?
