More then likely during this week or the next going to get the 46g bow front started up. And with this prospect I dont want to run into the problems that I have with the BioCube, only certain corals will work on the stock one.... So what I am looking at is getting lighting for this tank that I dont have to worry about what lighting I have in the tank when I get a coral or a frag from someone or somewhere. Biocube is great for certain things, but the limitation and the size have put a stop to any real expansion in the tank. With that being said, the question goes out:
What lights to put on the 46g Bow Front? Ready for the kicker,I don't want to do retro kits, or canopies. And since I live close to Bernie and see all the great stuff in his tank running straight T5's (I know there has to be at least 100 under the hood of that thing) I don't buy off completely on the MH claims. Below are the follows things I am looking at, and hope to make a better educated purchase from the input of the gang...also still looking for someone who is going to this weekends meeting that can pick up a few of the Tubs Blue Zoos.....
Nova Extreme T5 36" 156 Total Watts, 4 x 39w
Current SunDial T5 HO 4 x 39w
Nova Extreme Pro 36" 6 x 39w
I know that Current pretty much makes all of these above, and that the SunDial only really adds times to the Nova extreme, but thoughts?
