Lighting a 96x48x20 with led's

[Dungston]

Any suggestions on fixtures/combos on lighting my 400g with leds and getting decent coverage . Going for a mix of sps/lps, I like the radions and a.i.'s just wanting some input on a good config.

any suggestions diy kits or decent affordable led fixtures

There is a guy who goes by Tdb320reef that has built a large DIY led build, his tank speaks for itself! I'm sure a pm would lead you to some good info.

just trying to find a more affordable solution but 6-8 radions would be awesome didnt know if there was anything else out there similar power but more affordable

I am working on a 96x36x24 build and was recommended 4 Gen 3s with the wide angle lenses on the Ecotech forum so it might not take that many, but you obviously have another 12" to light than I do.

My tank is 96x48x24. Ecotech and AI suggested 8 fixtures over my tank. But then again my goal is predominantly SPS. If I go with the hydra 52s, AI suggested only 6. Orphek suggested 4 fixtures over my tank if I run them front to back, 5 would be overkill. So thats the suggestions I got.

well i ended up deciding on 4 48" reefbreeder photons only have 1 right now trying to figured out where to hang them from because in the ceiling above is ac duct . im thinking of making a stand/frame to go over the tank using galvanized steel pipe
