Hi all! Can anyone help me out with options for lighting a 35 gallon tall tank. It's 30long,12wide,24 deep. Holds 32 gallons after rock and substrate. Set up 5 months ago and has had fish(3 green chromis & 3 banngia cardinals) snails (breeding population of ceriths) and a cleaner shrimp living in it for 2-3 months. Ready to add a light and start some corals Lps/softies to start and maybe switch to mixed in a year or so when we are more knowledgeable.
I'm having trouble finding any light's that par well with that depth.
I was going to go with generic black box but par info on them quite hard to find.
Can someone with some experience share their knowledge. I was thinking about a prime hydra32 but I'm not sure with the 30" length. Would two prime16s be better so I can spread them apart a bit? Or are these over kill with the tank only being 12" wide? Would I get good par at depth with the AI lights at all? My water line to sand bed depth is about 22"
Thanks all for your help!
