![]() Thanks so much! Yes I have been drooling over some really sweet builds here, hopefully I havent bitten off more than I can chew with this build. So much to figure out still, but loving every minute of it. Thanks for your support!

![]() Post some pics when you get a chance so we can see what the tank and stand look like. Is it plumbed already or are you in the planning stages?

![]() It will be a mixed reef. My other tanks are mostly LPS so I would like to have more SPS in this one. Hoping not to break the bank too badly since I went big on the tank

![]() 24 inches deep, mixed reef, and after reading your other thread, I personally would stick with T5's and the Reefbrights. 2 x 8 bulb 48" fixtures and 2 x 48" reefbrights on the front (4 if you really want that wow factor). Bulbs only need to be changed every 9 months and the Reefbrights are amazing LED's to give the corals that pop.
LED only is possible, but you'll be spending a small fortune to cover 8 feet. Halide also an option, with reefbrights, but now you're adding a ton of heat. At 300+ gallons, things start to become very expensive. |

![]() That does sound like my best option. I have been tossing the idea around of having LEDs with retro fit T5s under a custom canopy too.
Oh I knew full well I was giving up my home renovation for this tank...but hey priorities right? ![]() |
