Lighting...

So one LFS is trying to get me to buy kessils for my 150g 30" tall while the other one is recommending cheap units like the Mars aqua. Personally I was thinking about reefbreeders top light. Whatever I get will be going under a hood. It will be a mixed reef, I want to be able to grow anything. Opinions?

I personally use mars aqua and have for 3 years now. Had 3 on a 150 tall.



It’s really going to come down to your budget and what you want as there are sooo many options of all price points.

Will the 3 Mars aqua fit under a canopy? Mounting options? Would 4 be better or will only 3 fit? Nice tank BTW!

I’m pretty sure only 3 will fit if they are mounted longwise. I have 4 in my 180 now and they stretch almost the whole length.

Depending how high your canopy is or if you cut a section out off the top you can mount them on angle iron.
