Hi All,

Would like to know which would be better :

Lumen Bright or Lumen Bright Mini's.

I need to get units to use on two 6ft*30in*30in tanks.

The reason I ask is because the difference in postage to Australia is between the two items is $250US.

Should I buy 6 lumen brights and pay $400 postage or should I buy 8 Minis and pay $150 postage? - mini's can be send by US post as apposed to UPS courier for the larger units.

I would like to use 250W or 400W globes in each. Ive read nothing but good reviews on these units so far and am sure that either of these units would be better then my 150W pendants.

Before placing order with tony form reef exotics I would love to know your thoughts.

Your advise is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Frankie
You would never be able to fit 6 lumenbright larges or 8 minis above your tank. I would go with 3 minis on a 6ft tank at 18 inches off the water and run 400 watters.
