sorry, accidental post

hello all, my dad bought a frag tank, but doesn't know how to light it, its 30x12x10 so it's long and narrow, I can't think of a strip light that is strong enough, he wants to spend under 200 dollars, and doesn't mind getting stuff used, I was thinking 2 ai primes, or 3 kessil a 80s, thoughts?

You would probably be fine with just 2 kessil A 80s which should run you well under $200 used, I believe they are rated for up to 24"x24". The tank is pretty shallow and especially once you put a rack in it. Is he planning for mainly LPS? or SPS?

hello, i accidentally posted this, I'm going with a viperspectra 300w reef light, I'm growing lips and softys, also kessil a80s are 24x24 Fowler 8x8 for corals

I agree, it's also such a long tank, it gives out high par so it all works, and I'm gonna upgrade to 2 ai prime 16gds eventually
