Hey everyone,

I am going to be upgrading to a 125 DT from my current 75 DT. I have a Reef Radiance Lumentek pro 240 running on it which is a little over 30" long. It has just enough spread to cover the whole 4ft. It definitely will not be able to cover the 6 ft. tank. I am looking for some less than ridiculously expensive options to cover the remaining 2 ft. on either side. One idea I have been considering is two 36 "2x t5ho strips on either side of the LED fixture that will be in the middle. I think I'll like the light combo of LED & T5 but I don't know of a lot of low profile 2x t5ho strips. Anyone else have some other ideas?

Thanks!
 
Could go with the Kessil A150, comes in at about $215 on BRS. Although what do you mean by "not ridiculously expensive"? 100 per? 200?
 
Ya , I suppose I should put some cost ideas out there. I was hoping to keep it under $200 total for additional lighting.
