I have a setup question for the experts here. I am having a 24x24x24 cube with a built in refuge in the back. I really want to get a 24" fixture with 8 lamps or put two 4 lamp fixtures back to back.
Is 8 lamps overkill for this setup? |

if i do get any corals in the next 1.5 yrs before i graduate it will be something thats very easy to maintain. i just want to get a good setup so when i do get into corals all i need to do is change the bulbs. right now i just have a bunch of LR. the tanks 25.75" deep and i planned on having the lights about 6-8" off the water in the hood that im building. should i run 3 10k and 3 actinic or a combination of a lot of different bulbs? thanks Nate |

Do a retro and you can upgrade to the better ballasts later on. I would get the IC reflectors though. Start out with 4 lamps for now. Thats plenty for some zoos and shrooms, maybe a few softies on the rocks.
Do Like a couple of Blue Plus, one actinic and 1 sun lamp.

You could add a couple more normally driven lamps for adding Blue and actinic and as a dusk dawn pair.

Grim,
I am currently running a 4 x 54w retro over my 90gal with the following bulb combo. Super Actinic Aquasun GE Daylight Aquablue I only have softies in the tank so far, but I want to add some SPS in the near future. I will pick up a 2 x 54w Icecap kit for the overdrive. My question is, I want to get more of a blue feel to the tank. Right now, with all the lights on, it is a very crisp, white. What would you suggest the new arrangement should be with the additional Icecap kit and 2 new bulbs. Thanks, Salty |

http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_...Retrofit_Kit_w!_Bulbs_by_IceCap It has the Ice Cap reflectors Grim mentioned, your other options don't. This also comes with your choice of bulbs included in the price and Greg @ Reef Geek is about as good as it gets at customer service. This is the 2 x 54w but i think they also have a 4x54w if that's what you want. Your top 2 links don't work for me. HTH |
