Hi all,
I'm helping an LFS with lighting their 180g mixed reef tank. I think its actually a 240, but I'm going to have to double check.
As-is, I'm planning on doing 18 XP-G cool whites and 30 XP-G neutral whites run at 1000mAh with 2 TRC-075S105DT's and 10 XP-E blues and around 80 XP-E royal blues, divided into 2 different 2x3 fixtures, all with 60 degree optics. These will be about 8 inches above the water. I'm also going to add some true violets into the mix.
I'm going for a 14k look, and I believe this will get us there. Do you guys think this will be enough to keep SPS? Probably not on the sand I don't believe, but for the most of the depth of the tank.
Do you guys have any thoughts? Is that enough LEDs?
FWIW, these will be mounted on quite a bit of C-channel with lots of fans. :)
