ReefBreeders Photron 48" V2's T5 supplementation

[fernalfer]

I have the Reefbreeders Photon 48" V2's and want to get a retro kit for it to have 1 T5 light on each side of my led light. I do not have a canopy but the LED light does have rails to connect stuff to it. I want it to look as clean as possible.

Does anyone know of a retro kit that goes well with this LED light? Something that can be easily retrofitted to my Photons. If so can you lead me in the right direction. Also if i were to add 2 T5 Bulbs what kind should they be?

I am in a similar position. I have a photon 32 over my shallow 4 foot 80 gallon. I bought the light to put over my first tank which was an odd shaped 92 corner.

I raised the light up high over my current tank and found it to be adequate. Now im thinking I can and should do better then adequate. I found a post elsewhere that used these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AKKUBDQ?tag=viglink20358-20
They mounted one on each side. The finished look was very clean.

Im thinking about adding them but am torn between the 3 foot and 4 foot version. Obviously the 4 foot provides better coverage but it will stick out considerably from the led. Whereas the 3 foot will look cleaner, and i honestly haven't much an interest in sps or other high demand corals. I just feel my tank doesnt appear very bright. However cranking up the lights power was too much for my coral (mostly lps and softies)

I have the 48" V2 also. I have 2 LET retrofit kits from brs on either side of my led. The kit is about $122 and is much slimmer than the one you linked to on Amazon.
