Got a free corner tank with stand, was told it was a 54g but turns out it is really only about 45-47 gallons. I want to go T5 for the lighting but I am having a few concerns. I am worried about coverage of the entire tank...the tanks bow is about 35 inches, which leaves me the options of a 24 or 30 inch light fixture. I plan keeping most of the LR and corals from the back corner to about the middle(or little more than that) of tank, leaving the front more open for fish to swim. With that in mind, I was thinking of getting the 24 inch light so it would be placed further back on the tank. If i go this route, I know I cant keep corals up front, but will the tank look to dark up front? Any suggestions or solutions other than pendant lighting? thanks
dimension are: 35" at the bow, 25" sides, and 21" deep
