Hi Guys,
I am looking for a little advice. I have been in the hobby for about 15 years and am in the process of revamping my reef. It suffered a rather crazy green hair algea and phosphate bloom that went uncontrolled for a couple months and I lost most of the livestock. I am getting it back on track but am curious about lighting upgrades...
The tank is a 56 gallon cube 30" wide x 18" deep x 24" tall. Mostly I have zoo's but I have a few LPS and SPS but no acro. It has an adjustable metal halide that runs a 250watt 20k for 2.5 hours, then 400watt 20k for 5 hours, then 250watt 20k for 2.5 hours. And it has always served well. I have always run metal halides and the 20k seems to give me the best look and provide nice growth.
I am looking to swtich to LED and cannot decide between the AquaIllumination Hydra52HD, Ecotech Radion Pro G3, or the GHL Mitras LX6200 HV. With the tank being soo deep I am not sure I will get good par all the way to the substrate.
Can anyone weigh in and maybe provide some insight into what a good direction would be to go in?
Thanks for the help!
