Hello, I have an 85 gallon corner tank with the following dimensions, 46"L x 32"W glass height: 25". I would like to grow sps coral. What would work for me and how much would it cost?

We have two 92 Gallons in our office (dimensions 46"L x 34"W x 24"H)
We are using a 24" 800 Series on one and a 24" 600 Series on the other with amazing growth.

The 600 Series retails for $495 per foot and the 800 Series retails for $645 per foot.

I feel the 600 series will work for your tank and will have no problem growing SPS.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Ok I have a 24x18x24 mostly lps and softies and I'm going from a MH 250w to the 18 inch 600 series .. What percentage ( how bright) should I keep the light on?
Do my corals have to acclimate to the new light
and how many hours a day ?
Moon lights how many hours

I would recommend running our default program which is a max of 80% for at least 2-3 weeks then you can bump it up 5% a week. Give us a call if you need any assistance on the setup. 631-993-3227

We have a 175 in our office with similar dimensions. I would recommend 3- 600-18B This will give you the best coverage and the best price. Some of our retailers are selling the 600-18's for $599 instead of $742.50. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I want to light a 40 breeder (36" x 18" x 16"). I noticed that your 18" model was on sale. That is at the top of my price range so will that suffice for lighting or would I need the 24" model?

I noticed that a LFS has a 57gal (which has the same footprint) and they had the 24" model, I just don't have the money to do this.

Thanks,

Paul

What do you suggest to get the best color for daylight 100% on the whites and blues with the moons off? What's the best ratio ?

 

[plateboy3293]

I bought a Chinese model led the same as the Apollo led but with out the name brand ran $200 each 120 watt fixture blue and white alternating great light been able to keep everything under them. Not dimmable

 

[crox99]

I want to use your fixtures over a 300 g tank 72x36x27. Which units would you suggest? It will be a mix reef with mostly sps and lps. Thanks.
