Led t5 help

[pastelball]

I am running 2 kessil 160's on a deep blue 34 gallon frag tank it's 36l x 12t x 18d. Thinking of adding a single t5. But, should i go with a 24" or 36". I am thinking off 24" as i am using a canopy. Would like to keep it open.
Just want to take care of some shadowing for sps.

Why not go completely on T5?

Not looking to do that. Just want to supplement

If your kessils are centered you might start thinking of two T5's on either side of the kessils.
If you looking for growth on your frags go for sure with one 10k daylight.
Oh yes 24" should be enough

I just added a T5 fixture to supplement and it was one of the top decisions I have made lately difference is that I have a hydra26HD

Cluttered is something that you can avoid but with doing some good homework you can work out something that doesn't take away from the appearance on your tank.

Looking great my friend.
Do you have a FTS from the front?

Thanks, everyone. Tanks look good.
I am gong to mount them right behind the Kessils. Going to try and print some brackets to hold it.

Do a follow up on here as we can see how it turned out.
Hope you had enough info so far to get it done.

 

[pastelball]

Yes, very helpful. I will post some pics.

So, I added the single 24" t5. I think it looks good. I 3d printed some hangers and used some small chain to hange it.

That looks great!

Thanks. It definitely helps with shadowing.
