Sorry 34" tall. So 50 wide, 24 deep and 34 tall.

You think 4?

[YoungREEFA]

Well maybe 3, the artic units are 16 inches in length, so you actually would only be able to fit 3 in a row if you choose that fixture

Both fixtures for 3 weeks now..

If you have easy to keep corals 2 will be more than enough and the standard 90 degree lens will still give you plenty of PAR at the bottom. If you have corals that demand higher light intensity, you might be better off with 3, but I would start with 2 and see how it goes. Shipping is free so there is no advantage to buying 3 at one time. When was the last time a manufacturer told you to buy less?

Each S026 and T247 will cover about a 30" wide by 24" front to back footprint when hung 8-12" off the water over a 24" deep tank. Hanging it higher or over a deeper tank, the footprint gets bigger and the PAR at the bottom goes down slightly so you need to turn up the power a bit to compensate.

Regard,
Stan

Thank you Stan.

Is there any way to get the aquamana cobs to work with an apex or reef keeper controller?

[indyjaco]

How many OR T-247's would you need on a 6x2x2 or 8x2x2? How do they compare to the 24" RB Photons?

Any other good options to consider? I am in process of building one of these sized tanks and putting the equipment together. The tank will be a mixed reef.

I've been skimming this thread for a while and there is a lot of information to understand.
I'm looking to light a 7 ft long 265g tank. Its 30" high and 2 ft deep. Its a fish only tank with a few mushrooms and leathers, so softies only.

Can anyone recommend me a decent light? I'm trying to stay under $120 each

[OceanRevive]

I would recommend you look at these.....

Yes the Ocean Revive S026 or t247 are both the same other than the built in timer/intensity settings and are probably more than you need for softies....and definitely more than you need for fish only.... You probably could get away with using only 3...properly spaced.

units it2080 evergrows
now here is the issue and I am working with supplier to resolve. After a year of use , out of the 6 fixtures, 5 of them have issues with one of the channels on each . On one unit the all blue channel string of blue leds is out completely, it has no light on leds on that string.

On the other 4 Fixtures that same channel/string of all blue led is very dim even at 100 percent dialed up on that channel on "sunny" "cloudy" or "manual" mode all the same. Cannot get that channel to go bright.

Hey all, looking to keep LPS, soft corals, and a couple anems. Currently running marine orbit LED that I am looking to replace. Throughout reading the forum I have come across:

1) http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics®-TT...pr_product_top

2) http://www.amazon.com/AIBC-Evergrow-.../dp/B00DR96ZH8

3) https://www.reefbreeders.com/shop/re...-led-fixtures/

Tank dimensions are 48W x 13D x 24H. Looking for any recommendations/amount of each light I would need for the tank!

[nameissoftlover]

8 ft..I'd go with 4 fixture s... Could get by with three but ... 4 would be even lighting and could hang lower and run lights lower
