Elos 70 lighting

irish02bk · Dec 11, 2016

I currently have a Radio Gen 3 (non pro) over my elos tank. its a 30w x 22depth x 20h.

I feel like i'm getting some shadowing on it. Wondering if you think thats enough light for those dimesions or should i add another one? I'd really like to add some T5 bulbs but i want to keep it looking sleek.

Another optoin is maybe adding 2 AI Prime HD's in white on each side?

Adding T5s should certainly provide entire tank coverage and can be an added benefit to coral growth and color. I'm a big advocate for the LED T5 combo, as I have one myself

It's the best of both worlds, IMO.

Yea it just they don't look great/sleek unless you do one fo the $1,300 units.... which ATI still doesn't have a good rimless mount for
