Hello,
I am setting up my tank canopy now and finally must choose the lighting.
I currently own the ballast/reflectors/SE sockets for dual 175MH, no bulbs.
I have been toying with T5 supliments or switching entirely to LED...
This is for my tank 48"wide, 24" deep, 30" tall
Eventual fish + "soft" corals --> maybe hard/SPS down the road..
This "Reef Capable LED Lighting System" is like $250 now, throwing a wrench in my plans
Anyway, please recommend based on these setups.
1) Dual 175MH + 4 T5 bulbs (216w)
2) Dual 175MH + "Marineland 48-60 Reef Capable LED Lighting System" (54w LED)
3) 8 T5 bulbs assorted (432w)
4) Dual "Marineland 48-60 Reef Capable LED Lighting System" (108w LED)
5) "Marineland 48-60 Reef Capable LED Lighting System" (54w LED) + 4 T5 bulbs (216w)
