Kessil A160WE on 120g FOWLR with glass lid?

bigfruits · 03/11/2016, 08:21 PM

Hello,

I am setting up a 120g (4x2x2') aquarium with a glass lid. The inhabitants will be small reef fish and inverts.

I really like the shimmer of the Kessil pendants and was wondering if two of the 160s would work. I havent found many videos of these covering 2ft areas and I am worried that the glass lid will make it look dim and reflect too much light.

Would you be happy with 2 160s in this FOWLR tank? Would you want a brighter viewing light?

Thanks in advance,
-Z

I ran a pair of these lights over my 90 FOWLR and was very happy with them. No glass, but I did have screens. I ran them quite low and with a blue push. Looked awesome.
