reefercorey Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Anyone seen the zoo med 50 gallon low boy frag tanks? I just purchased one and I'm trying to decide on lighting. The dimensions are 48x24x10. Would 2 kessil a160we's cover it or would it be a stretch? I mostly just keep zoas. Im also open to other suggestions that arent way too pricey Link to comment
krusing93 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 If you are going for a frag tank and don't care about looks you can get cheap T5 fixtures on amazon and throw in some T5 or LED conversion bulbs. Thats the price saving mode IMO but if you want ascetically pleasing fixtures Kessils look great and you can just look up the spread and fit it to what you plan on stocking in the tank (SPS,LPS,softies,anemone) Link to comment
reefercorey Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I dont plan to use it as a frag tank. Just a shallow reef. I think I'll try 2 Kessils because i love how small they are and if I absolutely need a 3rd il get it. Link to comment
krusing93 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 yeah thats fine just do your research on them! Great lights and they look beautiful and sleek IMO Link to comment

Will be cheaper and light the tank better. A80's come out in 8 days. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/a80-tuna-blue-nano-led-light-kessil.html Link to comment

Kessil just took the hybrid dome/reflector on the AP700 and put it on a smaller puck. It's already been proven that the AP700 blows 2x A360's in spread and coverage out of the water. Link to comment
