I have a 35 gallon Hexagon Tank. Looking to do mostly corals. What Is the best lighting for this kind of tank? I set the tank up about a month ago. Currently I have put in some live rock, 2 clown fish and a mushroom coral. All are doing well but need to strengthen lights before I go any further. The tank has cycled pretty well and a did a 1/4 partial water change today. Nitrates etc are level at the moment. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
What is the dimensions of the tank ? I think that most of the somewhat standard 8"x16"-ish 120-165w LED fixtures would work very well. Check out Reef Radiance and Reef Breeders, both Sponsors here on R2R.

Cheers, Todd
 
Thanks for Response Todd

The tank measurements are 24inch wide and 22 inches deep. Not sure if I can use a strip light with clip on because the tank is hexagon shaped, thought about a hanging light would would prefer one I can attach to the tank.
