Lighting for a 150 FOWLR
I'm currently using a 72" Current USA Nove Extreme T5 on my 150 FOWLR. I'm not sure if this the best set up for the aquarium and would appreciate any insight. I've seen
a lot of new LED technology out, but I know nothing about it. I believe the aquarium is 72"L, 36"H, and 24"W. The reason I feel lile theres an issue is I've started noticing A LOT of algae on the glass and I'm worried its more than just a water problem(currently working on getting nitrates down) Posted from ReefCentral.com App for Android |

On my 180g FOWLR, I use (2) 36" current true lumen marine fusion LED strips. It provides more than enough light with no dead spots. Great colors as well.

I have a Current Outer Orbit 72" model with 150 watt Phoenix 14k bulbs and I think the lighting is perfect, white with a good blue hue.
I only run the lights when I will be viewing, and also not running the halides a lot of the day I think has helped with growing coralline |
