Help Me Pick Out My Lighting

You could hang them or build a canopy to month then in

Ah, that makes sense, thanks.

I keep going back and forth...it would be cool to just connect the lights out of the box with the three 16 inch fixtures, which I'm thinking would be sufficient for the basic types of corals I plan on keeping. BUT, if I spend $90.00 more I can get more powerful lights that won't be limiting if I go with more light-intensive coral or clams down the road. I am definitely leaning towards the two 32 inch models simply because $90 isn't relatively that much more to pay upfront, rather than a whole new set of lights down the road if I decide to go with more light-intensive species.

LOL, thanks for listening to my ramble. ;P

No problem. I would go the better end and not worry about if you can house a clam.

The problem with the longer lights and 3 braces is you will have shadowing where the lights hang over the braces. Which is why 3 would be better because you can hang them in between braces. Trust me 3 16 inches will be more then enough power for you

How are your lights holding up guys? I just visited their website and I think I like the price range. I will be doing the two 32" WiFi fixtures as I have only one center brace.

Happy 2017!

Can't go wrong with Radions.
