I got a new light for my tank its ReefBreeders light with 90Degree optics it seems to light amazing in the center but not the sides


im not sure if the light that is at the sides is good enough or if i should get another light to cover the sides

The fixture really only does 24" so you would do well to get a second one. ReefBreeders are good quality Chinese fixtures made by EverGrow. I've had 3 of their fixtures running for 3 years now with no problems.

ok so the guy i bought this light from has one other that was on his tank the one i bought is the one on the left in the picture ill just get the other one he has and run both

With 2 you should have more than enough light. Consider dialing back your power setting a little bit when you add the 2nd fixture.

How many pounds of live rock do you have Bashiier? I personally like the minimalist look but I would recommend getting some marine pure and adding it to a chamber in your sump. Any type will do, cause all your wanting to do is add surface area. This way you can have a larger bio load without having to worry about not having enough rock.

If you can fit it in your sump I would get the large block if not any of the other types will do.
