Lighting for Reefer XL 525

Jerine · 03/10/2016, 10:06 PM

Probably gonna use T5 lighting on my reefer 525, but I'm not sure if I should use 6 or 8 bulbs. I leaning toward an ATI Sunpower and adding 2 ReefBrite Tech strips to it. Though this will be an SPS dominant tank I wonder if an 8 bulb fixture plus 2 ReefBrites will be too much.

Thoughts?

I have gotten any recommendations on this thread, but I did in another. I will be going with the an 8 bulb T5 fixture. I'm pretting sure its going to be the ATI Sunpower non-dimmable, but I'm not 100% yet. Also considering the Pacific Sun Diuna. Tough choice.
