Hello,

I am setting up a 54gal corner tank. The tank is 24" on each side and then a quarter circle curved front and 24" tall. There are 4 T5 bulbs in there now and I want to add LED.

Would one Kessill 360x provide adequate light and spread?

The previous owner had to 2 360w's in there but I am thinking he must had then turned way down. Seems like a lot of light. It will be mixed but as this is our 3rd tank hoping to move towards the easier SPS corals.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I think the T5s will be plenty of light. I would buy some cheap chinese strip leds to make colors pop. That is all you need
