36x36 frag tank light suggestion

RLHornbeck · 02/23/2010, 08:21 PM

I am in need of a light for a new frag tank setup and need some suggestions. I have two 30 gallon breeder tanks that I am going to set back to back to make a 36x36 cube. They will have about 10" of water in them and I plan on making frag racks about 2"-4" tall. This will be a mainly SPS frag tank.

I was thinking about a 250w XM 10k bulb and lumatek ballast, but do not know what reflector to use. I have looked at a few comparisons but most of them are old and do not show the current reflectors.

Thanks

Full size lumenarc 3 should cover a 3' x 3' area.
