Lighting for 35W x 29L x 30H

[ej797]

Hey All,

I am getting ready to redo my lighting on my ~cube in wall mount. It measures 35W x 29L x 30H. I was wondring if it would be better to use 1 400w halide or 2 250w halides. Both would be supplemented with 460nm Blue Power Bright Leds.

I will be keeping sps near the top and and lps near the bottom.

Thanks,
EJ

if you mount a lumenbright high enough it will give you the spread you need but i dont know what the par would be at the middle or bottom of the tank.

I am thinking about using the Large Lumenbright reflector with 1 400w. What do you guys think about that?

Thanks,
EJ

now looking at your tank 1x 400 will be good are you going to do vho or t5?

Would I have to supplement with Flourescents?
