I am looking for a combo to bring out the colors of fish and coral in my new 120 in wall mixed reef.
Inside display dimenions: 47", 23", 25". It is euro-braced with a 3.5" lip going around the tank leaving a hole that is 17" wide by 40".
Option 1) 2 X 250 watt Lumenmax 3 DE reflectors with 14K bulb
36" 2 bulb sunlight supply "ready fit" TEK fixture with ATI blue + lamps. 35.75 X 4" X 3.5"
Option 2) 6 bulb or 8 bulb TEK t5 fixture
Option 3) Ditch the old fixtures and do something else.
Existing HQI Lumenmax 3 11 11.5 5
LB Mini 15 15 10
Lumenarc stealth 14.5 14.5 7
Lumenax Elite 14.5 14.5 5.3
Consideration: Already own 1 250 lumenmax DE reflector and 1 250 Watt sunpod. Space is almost exactly 48" from one side to the other and am not sure if a 48" t5 fixure will work. I plan on having about 18-20" of space to work with above the tank. I will mount the pendant to some wood connected to sliders because I will have an additional 8" behind the tank.
