90 cube lighting recommendations

[saltcreep74]

Im planning a new 90 gallon cube softy/zoa tank...mostly zoa's thou. Dims will be 36-30'ish in length.

Not sure if I should do hybrid of T5's and LED's or just LED's or just T5's.

If I go LED's only I will probable go with a couple of Kessils 360's or a DIY full spectrum chips.

If I go T5 only... I may got ATI 8x24 sunpower or 6x24 dimmable sunpower fixture.

If I go hybrid... It will be an ATI 6x24 sunpower fixture with a Nanobox LED retro kit.

Im shooting for growth and color. What would you guys use or recommend?

Thanks,

Gerald

I have 2 hydra 26s on a 90 gallon reef tank. 48" x 20" I believe. But 4 feet for sure. Does fine. I would stir away from the kessil 360we even though I own a kessil on my nano just for the fact that if your gonna eventually have other corals like sps or Lps you'll have enough penetration. But I think t5s alone without a combo would look amazing. Make sure you get the ati ones because those are purely incredibly fixtures and they have great reviews. They make your tank look amazing. With kessils you might have some dead spots and not enough penetration.
