Here is my new build -- 40 Breeder. Currently on day 12 of cycle.

This is the 36" LET T5 Retrofit kit I got for $109 off ebay. I am running ATI Blue+ and Coral+ bulbs.

The two beams are not nailed down, which gives me the option to move the T5's over time for coverage etc... They can slide back and forth.

In the middle I will be running a Reefbreeders Photon 24 fixture.

I was debating doing 4x39w T5's and the Photon 24, but I think the two bulbs plus the LED will be PLENTY of light for SPS.

What do you guys think? I didn't cut the additional wiring so its usable for the future. Just sort of bundled all the excess together.

Looks really good!
 
Looks good but I think you should go with a photon 32. I hear there is a used one in the for sale section... Lol

I like the aqua scaping!
 
I already own the Photon 24 (two in fact so ones going into storage or might sell it) so not looking to spend more. I think coverage will be fine with the 24 as I can raise it to any height I want to get the coverage.
