Lighting for Reefer 250

FrankB1 · 02/17/2018, 10:48 AM

Looking to purchase a Reefer 250. The deluxe comes with 2 AI Hydra 26 HD.

Was also considering the Kessil AP700.

Any thoughts from those who have the Reefer 250?

Thanks for any advice/recommendations.

I loved the AI Hydra 26HD’s.
I ran only 1 over my Reefer 170 (SPS Dominated) and I ran 2 (ran three a few months later since I found a good deal) on the tank prior that was almost exact dimensions of Reefer 250.

I’ve wanted to try the Kessil AP700, but I couldn’t pass up the Hydra 26 HD’s and I’m glad. My SPS absolutely loved them.
