Lighting of a 45 Shallow

cdunson82 · 06/14/2013, 12:12 AM

I have a question about lighting. I am building a 45 shallow from reefsavvy with the dimensions of 48" x 18" x 12" and am wondering if two AI SOL Blue will be good enough for the length of the tank or am I going to need three?

2 of them should work just fine, turn them long ways.

Switch out the optics, you do not want those 40 degree ones on a shallow tank.
