lighting for a new tank
 
I am putting together a new tank and could use some lighting suggestions ...

dimensions ... 48x24x14 with 1-2" sand bed
It will house mainly lps, sofites, zoas, and clams
possibly will have a raised rock structure similar to the volcano tank

I love leds, and, originally I was going to go with a mixture of par38 bulbs to light the areas i wanted ... the issues lies in finding a par bulb that will incorporate a few red and green leds to cover the whole spectrum ... any suggestions? Thanks.

Would supplementing the LED's with a pair of T-5 "coral color" bulbs be an option for you?.

I've considered something like this for my tank as i've been wanting to switch to LED's for a while now and the fixtures coming out are priced right.

thanks ... my biggest concern is trying to keep a "clean" look as this tank will be rimless ... Boost LED can actually swap out the leds on the par bulbs if they order in advance ... right now, they are checking on availability of led colors - will keep this updated with what I find out
