I currently have 2 Kessil 160's and 1 360we on my SPS 40 gallon breeder. I have 3 to spread the light and reduce shadowing, but I am not happy with the color and growth from the kessils alone, so I was thinking of adding some T5's. Acros are slow growing and only the greens are colorful, everything else is a bit washed out. Montis and everything else looks good.
I was thinking of added 4 39w ATI T5 lamps and ditchings the 360. The 2 160 would create pop, and hopefully retain shimmer, while the t5 would add a loft of the lighting needs.
Is this the best way to go, or should I do a different combo? I would go all T5, but I have done so in the past and didnt like the "office lighting" look from lack of shimmer, but may consider it after all. I would even consider 2x150w MH ifI could find a good looking DE fixture
