I have a hexagon 200gallon tank....It is 30" deep and each side is 24"....I need some lighting help...ideas...I am open to LED's, T5's, Metal Halides... prefer something DIY...I really don't want to purchase something pre-made....I have tried about 30 LED's for one side from Steve's LED's and they just aren't enough for this deep tank...I know there wasn't near enough and it didn't have optics but it was just a try...I only intend on keeping softies/leathers....I don't need the most energy efficient...I have really cheap energy rates....Thanks for your help in advance...

Optics would make a very big difference!
