hi I am new to this forum been reefing for 10 years plus,

I have always had big tanks 120-260gal but for the last 8 months I have been just running a 29 gal boicube.

I am just wondering what lights some of you guys are running I have a 120watt dimmable led set (I really don't like them) I got zoas, and assorted lps and one scroll coral.

I assume that this is a pendant hanging over the tank, as opposed to a light in the canopy. What don't you like? The color spectrum?

what LEDs are they? if it's cw/cb it will look pretty anemic.. these are typically the units people have when they decide they hate LED..

Check out some of these search results. I'm thinking you'll still use some kind of pendant. Maybe something like a Kessil LED pendant.

I went with a 4 bulb T5 unit for now on my Biocube because it was only $55 brand new (shipped). I like it and will probably just use it until I upgrade to a bigger tank where I will likely go LED.

 

Also, I get some slight shimmer from it because of the 4 moonlights and the surface agitation created with my power heads.
