I'd think that T5s might be a good choice, or a couple of 150w DE MH fixtures (using 14,000K Phoenxi bulbs) with the Icecap LED moonlighting after the MH turn off. Those lights are small enough to fit in the space you have available. Sample lighting using Icecap products http://www.reefaddicts.com/entry.php...setup-to-T5-HO Here's one picture showing those MH fixtures over a half round tank: http://melevsreef.com/pics/10/01/tan...ry_dual_mh.jpg And here's the page that picture came from: http://www.reefaddicts.com/entry.php...ur-Jan-23-2010 Icecap LED moonlighting product review: http://www.reefaddicts.com/content.p...D-Moonlighting
I want to have a simple pleasing mixture of hard corals, soft corals, maybe some clams and fish of course. nothing to overboard..
Congratulations on your new corner tank. What kind of livestock do you plan to keep? That helps determine the lighting options.
