Suggest me some lights v.100gallon

[Ktreece]

I am moving from a 30 gallon to a 100 gallon tank. My 30 gallon has PowerConcepts lights with the white/blue lights on it. This 100 gallon tank came with some cheesy single white lights. My tank has some coral in it (Brain and hammer) could somebody suggest me some lights for the 100 gallon tank that would be good to use? A model and brand would be fantastic.


Also, while I am asking. I will only have one power head (Koralia 3). How many would you think are necessary for a 100 gallon? Would two more be overkill?

Do you have a canopy to retrofit into? If so I would just add 4 T5's to it and be done. For pumps I would add at least one more (Koralia 4) but two would be better.

No canopy

Are there many options without a canopy?

I think it all depends on what type of corals you "plan" to have in there.
I know you said you have a brain and hammer in there but do you plan to keep SPS at all or just LPS and softies.

There are many fixtures out but it all depends on what you want to keep and what your budget is.

what are the dimensions of the tank? and yes, there are plenty of options without a canopy, but it will also depend on the dimensions of the tank

depend how deep or how long it is and your budget. There many option available just need to know the dimension of the tank. If it is a deep tank then halide is the way to go.
