Lighting for a 36x30x20 tank. Needing some help.

[ashr]

Hey all

So I am building a custom tank. It will be 36" x 30" x 20" and will be in the market for new lighting. I have always used ATI bulbs on my old tank ( RSM250) and loved them. So I was thinking of going with either a used older ATI 10x39w Sunpower fixture or buying a new 8x39w ATI fixture that is dimmable.

I am looking at many SPS dominate tank. I have always had great success with SPS before my tank crashed last month due to a house move..

So any thoughts on these? Or something else?


Thanks

I personally wouldn't bother with the dimmable unit. Go with a used pm or sp and use the money you saved on coral fish. Nice dimensions.

My opinion is

i would go with the ati fixture sunpower or 400w halide

I agree. The 10 tube. 400w could be supplemented with t5 also

Look into that hybrid ATI Powermodule. 8 T5s and LEDs.
