Thinking about halides.

One more question. Just noticed the lumen bright reflector comes in a mini and large. I'm assuming large is the way to go or does height of fixture make a bigger difference? The mini would fit the package better but also have enough room large.
Again it will depend on your aquascape.
The mini is 16 X 16 X 7 and the large is 20 X 20 X 9.
I would get the large.

Not a good picture but here's the tank

Everything installed. Having an issue with one of the halides. One doesn't always power up. Not sure if it's the reflector or ballast

Try to unscrew the bulb and slowly screw it again. Don't thigh too much.
I had this issue when I had halides...

Thanks for the suggestion. I really like the color and the shimmer is very nice. Gonna have to keep an eye on temp. Tank is rising quickly
 
Put a fan between the water surface and the fixtures to cut most of the heat emission. Chiller will work less that way.
I'm happy for you and your corals!

I will give that a try if temps get to high
 
This is how I run my fans over the display there is also a vent fan that exhausts to the home exterior above the lights. My tank rarely goes above 80 but (fans on at 78.5)... central air all summer so ambiant room temp is never more than 77.

Thanks for the image. I keep my home around 76 in the summer months. Cooler during the other months.
Bo chiller?
