Hi, all SPS reefers,
I have run my 2ft tank + 2 ft sump for more than 2 years. water parameter is stable and the DSB is matured. I am plan to convert it into SPS tank. With 5 inches DSB, the water level is less than 12 inches depth and the SPS will be placed on the rock which is less than 8 inches from the light. I am running Resun chiller (CL-280) which can only keep the water temp around 27.5C at hot weather.
Which on of the following light is more suitable to keep the colour of the SPS?
1) Add a 150W 10,000K MH supplement with my existing 36W blue/white PL and 15W actinic blue FL.
OR
2) Add 4 AquaZ T5 supplement with my existing 36W blue/white PL and 15W actinic blue FL?
Here are some criteria for me to decide:
1) Is AquaZ T5 same bright as ATI T5?
2) Is 4 T5 produce less heat than 1 150W MH?
3) I like the ripple effect created by single point MH but hate the heat produced by MH.
4) Prices between 150w MH set and 4 T5 set.
Seek for your advice
Thanks and Best regards
Jun Hong
