Aqua Illuminations over a Low Boy Frag Tank...

[DarthSimon]

So what can you guys suggest over a Low Boy Coral Frag Tank??? The tank measures 48 Inches Long, 10 Inches high and 2 feet deep. Would 2 or 3 Hyrda 26 HD's work? Or Would I need 2 52's? I am leaning towards the AI's because of IOTA and Apex integration.


Thanks in Advance!

I would start with 2 Hydra 26 HD.

Yeah, If I can get those 2 light fixtures 15 inches above my water line they claim their max coverage is 24"x24" but recommended spread is 18" x 18" . I could always put the lower light corals around the edges of coral tank.

I have them at 8" above water line and they spready pretty wide covering 24x24.
Keep softies around the edges.

Do you grow SPS?

I have used Radion's for years, and am considering changing to AI or Kessil. My friend #DangerDave runs a few AP700 KESSILS and gets amazing growth.

Yes I have a mixed reef but more sps and I have 10 hydra 26 HD on my 96x36x24 and 2 on my 36x36x12 frag tank with no issues.
Ofcourse radion are the king of lights, while AI are just right behind. Eco tech now owns AI so technology is almost the same.
