Best LED Light for 30x30” frag tank

Nanook · 10/12/2018, 08:28 PM

Doesn’t need to be spendy or capable of infinite settings, just able to grow acropora frags.

Tank is 12” tall, only about 10” of water.

Radion xr15 gen 4 pro should do the job and it's nice looking too.

a single XR15 wont light up an area of 30 x 30inch.

an XR30 Gen 4 Pro however would.

Looking for growth and color. I really want an LED fixture so bulb replacement isn’t necessary. Wanting about $300-400 price range tops.

Bpb · 10/13/2018, 08:24 AM

You’re looking at a pair of mars aqua then in that case

I'm currently using a single xr15 pro to light up 24x24 area in my frag tank and it does the job perfectly at 50% of power, so 30x30 in my opinion is doable if you hang the light higher and crank the output up.

edit: it must be gen 4, the new HEI lense really makes a big difference.

That’s the big boy. They’ve got a 1/2 size one. I’d get two of the smaller ones

I'd look into the Sirius XTC

https://reefledlights.com/shop/cri-reef-genesis-3/

You know exactly what's in it and it offers quality components that can be replaced by anyone down the road.

It doesn't have or need all that useless software.

They also have a DIY kit for 300
