4 G5 15's or 2 30's

DW66 · May 23, 2022

Starting a 6" mixed reef (primarily Sofries/LPS, not a big stickhead) in a Waterbox 220.6 system this week (167 gal. 6" long tank) Trying to decide on lighting and I am currently pondering 4XR 15's, or two XR 30's, seeking advice....

6' tank I would do 3 xr30's.
Full coverage and no shadowing.

Agree. You might be able to get away with a pair of G6 XR30s for a mixed reef (and some SPS if they're fairly high up). I have two G5 XR30s and a single G5 XR15 on my 71" tank.
