[fragginawsome]

im settimg up an sps, magnifica, gigantea setup that is 60 gallon 24x24
im thinking 2 a350's or an orphek diff 100 or maybe even radions
if you agree with any of these please reply
or if you have a suggestion such a ati or mh feel free to comment

I would choose the Kessils or the Radion Pro. The Orphek does not impress me.

i agree with jerpa, Kessil would be great for a tank thats cube shaped :D

unless you want to not be happy about the tank, i have seen tons of panoramas that had burnt out leds

1 mh would work

ecoxtic cannon?

[Louy99]

LEDs!!! Something modular like the AI Vega perhaps?

[sminker]

Still kinda leery about LEDs. MH w/ t5 supplement for me. I've done a ton of reading on LEDs and I still am hesitant to switch my system over.

[pwreef]

What other lighting do you have experience with?

[fragginawsome]

I wouldn't put a 3ft fixture on a 2ft tank personally. How about the 2ft version 6 or 8 bulb sunpower? That would light up your cube just fine. Cheaper than the 3 foot model also.

Budget?

[fragginawsome]

just decided not to do a 60 back to the 225 but i think for the 225 a ati sunpower 60'' 8x80w
-the tank will be 72x24x30

wow

[nanoreefer1000]

If you do led two 27 inch Razors, a large DIY fixture, or a few RB fixtures would work best

:headwally:

Go slow and do alot of research.

6-8x24w ATI Sunpower

250w Radium or Phoenix Halide bulb on M-80 ballast...t5 or led supplement lighting is nice to have.

18 months and not a single failure on any of mine. 95% of the time I see issues is all user error. People install them incorrectly and never clean them. Any light source will fail if you treat it like trash.

Just MY personal experience though. Not a third party story. :)
