jpatt50 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'm completely overwhelmed with researching led fixtures. I reall need some suggestions lighting my 20L. It's my first tank so I'll be starting off with "easier" corals but I want a fixture that could support harder ones in the future. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at reef breeders value, par38, current USA orbit. I'm just having trouble choosing a good fixture. I have around $200 to spend. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'd probably do RB Value. Link to comment
Reeftech Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 With the reef breeders fixture you might get dark ends. If you dont mind t5s a 4 bulb would do good. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Shouldn't have dark ends on a 30" tank. You don't mount it on the tank. Link to comment
nickpop86 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 im ordering the value led with 90* optics for my 20L, ill let you know how it is when I get it Link to comment
jcarman81 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Hang about 8 - 10" above the tank. You will be fine. I have a similar fixture over my 20L and it's fine. Link to comment
Reeftech Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Also look at the evergrow fixture. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 The Value is a rebranded Evergrow. Link to comment
Toybuddha Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Reefbreeders value fixture completely lights my entire 20 long no problem. It will grow whatever you want and is a great price. Link to comment
