The Grim Reefer
Ready for some NOBALL!!!
Would 2 12 bulb fixtures be overkill on a tank this size? (Mixed reef)
And kindly point me in the direction of your choices in fixtures or DIY's.
Thanks Grim.
Assuming thats the 8x2x2 foot variety 2 8 lamp fixtures are what you need.
If you are sticking with softies those cheap fixtures with good lamps will work fine. Even a few LPS and SPS on the very top of the rocks. For a mixed reef I'd go with 2 8x54(48 inch) Tek lights.
If you find a deal using 36" fixtures would be fine too, depending on how you are mounting them maybe even better. If these are going in a canopy 36" might be a better idea.
If you want a lot of SPS do ATI Sunpower fixtures.
