Lighting for the Waterbox 50.3 Peninsula?

[Spinster4000]

Looking for recommendations for the WB 50.3 AIO Peninsula, the tank measures 35.4"×19.7"×17.7", I was looking at 2 AI Primes but I don't know how I'd mount those without taking away from the peninsula style look

Hanging is usually the ideal option for peninsula tanks. A single XR15 G5/G6 would probably be all you need.

If I hung a G5/G6 just a singular one would be sufficient? I am new to this hobby and I don’t have any plans of growing SPS at the moment, that’s for a later date

I had a tank with very similar dimensions. I made a light bar and hung my lights. I can send a pic tonight if you want

Hanging seems to be the best option rn but what lights did you use?

Yes, more than sufficient.

oh yeah I like that, wall mounts like that are pretty simple to find then, and then are you using the wall mounting kit that AI has available or did you DIY that?

Mitras 7206? Or a 7204. Can grow anything in that tank. Would only need one and not need full power.

Here is what 3 16's look like on my 36x24x12 frag tank.
A single arm from the short side would look good.

that looks nice but I was thinking and talking to my buddy who said he’d sell me an XR30 G5 Pro for 500, and he said it would be efficient enough for a tank my size

Those are some beefy lights, and something I’d probably go with if not for my friend who’s gonna sell me an XR30 G5 pro for 500

7204 is 500 bucks. Same as the 7206, but two less pucks. But same power output in each puck as the 7206.

 

[Spinster4000]

7204 is 579 bucks. Same as the 7206, but two less pucks. But same power output in each puck as the 7206.

On BRS the 7206 is 879 and the 7204 is 579
