lights for 370 gallon sps tank?

[nicknguyen]

I'm in the process of setting up a 370 gallon sps dominated tank. It's a peninsula style, 72 x 42 x 29 with external overflow. I've always gone with MH and T-5 but wanted to try something new. I really like the 60" ATI led Powermodule with 8/80w t-5 but still feel that might now be enough light. Maybe add 4 Radion pro? Or stick with 3/400wt radiums and 4 radion pro? Any suggestion would greatly be appreciated.

My tank is only a 29 gallons cube, but I have a Radion over it and love it. A nice feature you might enjoy with your tank is the sunrise/sunset option when you have a string of radions. You can set them up to mimic the sun from east to west.

I've been keeping sps for quite a while now and for now will never go with all leds. I really like the ati led powermodule but I think it's not enough light for the footprint of the tank. I'm really trying to keep the chiller useage down that's why I'm leaning toward the ati over MH. Both I think will have to be supplement with additional led for a wide tank like this. just having a hard time to choose between the two.

I hear yah... but why not all LED? single point source LED are quite capable. Just wondering.

I did AI Vega Colors on my last tank. Current tank has two A360ew's and I'm loving them...they've got amazing shimmer. mixed reef and everything seems to love them. Even got a rainbow BTA to bubble up under them. 2 RBTA's under the Vega's never bubbled.
