Hi
This topic has probably been discussed before but i couldn't find anything that answers my question.
I'm in the process of building my own light fixture.
As for today I am using two modified Chinese black boxes. It's ok but not great.
I decided to go with a combo fixure that will hold 6xt5 bulbs and 3 100w leds in the middle. The LEDs are just for a little color tweeting and for added shimmer and are not the main light source.. most likely will be operated at 10% or so
I'm looking for the best ATI bulb combination and have no idea where to start..
The other issue is that my tank is a peninsula, so I would like to avoid different shades from front to back..
Ideally, I would love the light to be natural and lively, a little hard to explain.
As for today I have some Lps, softies and some zeos but I really want to be able to grow some sps as well.
Tank is 24x24x40"
Any advice will be appreciated..
