Lighting my hex.

[Knoxjoelee]

Still having trouble trying to find a fixture that will light my 30 gal hex it's 16" wide everything I look at seems not to have enough light. Need help?

"Not enough" in which respect? Coverage or depth?

How deep is the tank?

Do you have a budget?

Are you willing to do a little DIY?

Are you able to hang a fixture, or will it have to sit on the tank?

this is the tank when I filled an checked for leaks. Don't really want to hang one. 100 $ is what I would like to spend but a little more then that ain't a problem.

Would like to get rid of hood all together

You could try like a kessil 150 with a goose neck but you will be going over your budget. But in saltwater you get what you pay for for the most part. I run kessils on one of my tanks and love them.

Try Ebay. Cree I think makes pendant/goose neck types.

what are you planning on putting in this tank?

A small kessil would look amazing on your tank. However, they are a little pricey. I bought one for my first LED and was extremely happy.

Look at the used equipment forum if you're tight on cash. Just make sure to buy from someone trusted if you go that route.
