Lighting a Lowboy 48x24x10 Frag Tank

[reaper93]

Hi everyone! I am looking into lighting options for a 48x24x10 frag tank which would mainly be for LPS, softies, with limited SPS such as birdsnest or stylo

I was thinking something like 3x a360x would work well but was also looking at the reefbreeders photon fixtures.

Let me know what you think!

Either of those would be fine. I actually use both on my 150. The kessil looks better. The reef breeders is probably more reliable

Thanks for the input!

I like the ecotech or kessil cant go wrong with them. I had an ap700 over a low boy and it worked great for me par was not super high but grew any and all coral type. I find lower par works better then too much but you need a quality spectrum.

How high did you mount it?

I’m setting up the same tank and I’m looking at getting the Quanta Pro led bars

As mentioned either would work well. I went cheap on my lowboy after spending on my Radions for my DT. I went with a pair of Viparspectras. They work well enough for a frag tank growing anything, but obviously not the color or pop of my Radions. I may add a pair of Orphek blue bars for more color…I use them on my DT to give more pop on the dawn and dusk cycle of the Radions.
