the frag tank is 24 x 24 X 6
Does anybody have something they would recommend?

Which type ? How many would be sufficient?

 

[rovster]

What kind of frags? LPS and zoas do great under LEDs. SPS you may need more than just a Kessil.

I was thinking acans zoas and acros. I was thinking about tek light with ati bulbs

That would cover all basis. Great choice.

the trick is finding one though

either that or a ati sunpower

 

[rovster]

Sunpower might be overkill. I think with frag tanks, they are usually budget minded. The other option is to find a cheap T5 fixture and retrofit some LEDs in there. If you plan on selling frags, nothing makes them look better than some blue LEDs.

Evergrow D120, you can get them for under $100 now.

ive got the aquatic light 24 in 6 bulb on my 24x24x12 deep blue 30 rimless tank for a little over a week now..... cant tell you ive noticed a diffrence in my corals but im happy so far. ive switched from leds im more of a metal halide / t5 guy as it is.
