Lighting inquiry

[Fishboy9227]

Debating which route to go for lighting for my 120g peninsula (48”x24”). Want to keep a mixture of everything.

Considering the following:

• Aquatic Life T5 Hybrid w/ three Hydra 32s
• Three hydra 32s
• 48” ATI Fixture

Light spillage is a concern. Open to suggestions!

There will be light spill on all of the above. The ati (despite it being my favorite choice here) will be the worst. The reef fi duo/extremes seem to have less light spill than some other options. Some people report the Red Sea leds to have minimized light spill as well. But any reef light with sufficient intensity and spread will spill into the room. It’s unavoidable. A canopy or some form of light shield is the only real fix here.
