Lighting for SPS 92 Corner

[devindman]

I am going to be setting up a new 92 corner tank for SPS corals and would like to hear some suggestions for the best lighting I could possible use to keep any SPS without loosing color, I am aware that a chiller will be needed because of the heat issue that I will get.

Thanks for your suggestions

I would just hang two 250 watt pendants that have fans in them and avoid the need for a chiller (I guess you may need it depending on where you live, but I just use the central air to keep everything cool - but I live in ohio, so heat's only a issue for about 2 - 3 months a year). If you use something like a PFO pendant or something similar, you can supplement it with PC's to get some blue/actinic in there.

I use two 250watt (14k Pheonix) aquamedic ocean light pendants and then two 24" VHOs (actinics) down the sides with an 18" (6700) down the middle.
