Reefer 170

[chris3del]

So I have a reefer 170 stocked to the max!! My problem is that I think 1 Hydra 26HD is not cutting it anymore. I was thinking of adding another or maybe a 52. When I started my stocking of coral I managed to get everything placed with minimal shadowing. As of right now shadowing is starting to be a problem and driving me insane. Also some corals are growing funny and some have only growth on one side due to the shadowing. I have already had Leds since I started the hobby. I have excellent growth as well, but I think some corals have stalled from shadowing.
So add another 26? Get a 52? Or figure some other lighting supplement?

I run 2 Hydra 26s on my JBJ 45 and they work out quite nice so I'd vote for adding another 26. I like the flexibility of either chaining them or running separately (I have mine chained).
