Supplementing LED Lighting

Jason (clownfish), come down and look at my tank, I’m running 3 meds and 4 48inch t5s all staggered. I have def seen a growth increase and some better colors on certain corals. If you need help with the canopy, i could always help you build a new not thats taller so you can mount lights however you want.

Jason check out what this guy did with his lights and what he said, Build Thread - 210G SPS LED Tank | REEF2REEF Saltwater and Reef Aquarium Forum

That is an awesome scape! Gotta have a big tank for something like that, but wow.

He’s only lighting 60% of the tank which works for him since he is doing a single island. That won’t work for me unless I buy another unit.

I’m really starting to think that removing the optics is more important. I’m only running the units at 35/30 because they seem to melt stuff any higher. If I remove the optics I’d get a better spread, have more overlap and I can raise the intensity to compensate.

You guys and these dam led! Good luck chasing your tails with this project.
