Hi all,
I was in the hobby for a long time, but haven't kept a SW tank for a number of years now. When I got out, LEDs were just emerging into the hobby. Now that I am getting back in, I am having a hard time figuring out the correct fixture(s) for my tank.
I am planning a 40g breeder zoa/polyp garden, the only other items I am considering will be gorgs and maybe a rbta. No sps. As the tank matures I may go with a few lps but no rush on that.
What would you all suggest for that application? As of now, I am leaning towards a kessil unit but that is where I am getting confused. Since the 40g breeder is 36x18x17, I want good coverage (no dark corners) but I don't feel the need to over power the tank since there will not be sps.
Would a single kessil A160 tuna blue work? I could always add a second if needed. My thought with an A360 is that it is overkill since it is a shallow tank.
Totally open to suggestions and I am grateful for the help!
