Leds for tank ends

[Docdiggy]

I'm planning to upgrade my 75 to a 125. I'm going to continue using my ATI 48" 6 bulb, but I would like to put an led fixture for the 12" on each end. Something to keep my scolys, plates, and trachys under. I'm not looking to spend a ton since they're just for keeping lower light sps. I'm thinking AI prime or some kind of kessil. Hydra 26 at the most. Any recommendations?

Are you looking for pendants specific? I have seen fellow reefers using reef brite strips. I don’t own a big tank , so this is only from forum readings, not my personal experience

I attached my diy led strip to the back of my t5. Since a 125 is 6ft long and my light is 4ft, that leaves 1ft on each end without light. I'd prefer a fixture over a strip. A strip is nice for accent lighting. Imo.

If a hydra26 is within your budget realm a pair of those would do perfectly. Were it me I’d get a pair of the longest SB reef actinic strips which would run the length of the tank and provide the perfect par and pop for lower light stuff on the ends. But if fixtures are a must, a pair of hydra 26 would do perfect, or even if you can get a couple Sb reef black boxes. But you really won’t need a ton of light. I’d venture to say even ai primes would be enough but might be limited

If I could get away with primes that would be nice.
