Hello,
Currently I have a 180 gallon reef. I am running 3 Rapid LED Onyx fixtures (http://www.rapidled.com/dimmable-onyx-by-rapid-led/). I feel like they do not provide great overage on a 180 gallon. The light does not seem to be too bright and there seems to be some darker spots with the center braces. I wanted to get some peoples opinions on lighting for this size of a tank. I was thinking of looking into some T5s, but would I need 8 bulbs or 12 bulbs? I have a couple SPS frags that are not doing that well. Tank parameters are stable. All other corals or doing fine. Could the lighting be the issue or should 3 of these units be plenty? Maybe I'm just over thinking it.
Thanks!
