Lighting a 180 gallon
I am setting up a new 180 gallon 72x24x24. I would like to use kessil's. How many would I need,3?. The tank I have is an oceanic and has a center brace that is about 1ft of 1/2 in glass with a 1/4inch plastic brace in the middle. How much light would I lose if I have to mount a kessil over that?
One other idea I have is to use 2 of the a360-- 1 over each of the open area's then putting 2 of the a150's with a slight can't to them for the middle. Most of the rock work coral etc will be covered by the bigger units. Just don't want shadowing. |

you only have 1 center brace? hmm thats different...
normally you would need 3 for the big of a tank. and placing on of the kessils directly over the brace would be a complete waste. but using the 2x360s and 2x150s would be a good idea also. and a much better way to go about lighting your tank...
