How would you light me?

I'm a frag section in a sump. Just a tiny frag space as I sit at 7" x 10" x 16". I plan on holding all types of corals from SPS to Acans to Zoas while they grow.

How would you light me?

PAR38 LED, Neptune's has them

A man with an idea and a sponsor who carry's them. That's what I like to hear.

Was also considering DIY LED but it would end up just as expensive as the PAR38 I think.

I've been looking into it as well, I can't justify the labor/hours or the risk... plus I'd rather get mad at a company for their product breaking.

I don't think you can build a unit cheaper than you can buy a par38 fwiw....

Now the question is, to use a clamp light or hanging fixtures? Thinking some sort of clamp on fixture with a flexible neck would be best.

Will the PAR38 be enough lighting?

Are you concerned with the 16" depth? It's only a 7" x 10" space so the spread should be enough based on what I've seen.

PAR38 for the win!

There's a thread on NR where someone ran wiring through like 3/4" PVC and had two PAR 38's over a frag tank like that. I think it was called "Closet Frag Tank" or something like that. ***** clean setup. Yeah, PAR38 ftw. I'm thinking about devoting a section in my 10G sump for a frag station but there's just so little room...
