[sunnymau]

hi all,

I have been searching for a lighthing for my coming 3ft high and low, but still cant decide which to get... interested to get a Gieseman infiniti but dont seem to have 3ft.

Budget $1.5k and below.

planning to keep mostly lps and some sps at the higher part of the tank.

Pls advise!!!

Thanks

Is energy cost/efficiency a concern? How deep is the tank?

Personally I would go for ecomarine radeon + 1 or 2 par38s to supplement...

Got more experts out there to advice

How about ATI 10x39w Powermodule? Very powerful lightset, can even keep SPS on the sandbed. =)

I saw the light personally myself, good lighthing. But one unit doesn't seem to cover my tank. Good idea to couple with par38s but i wil go rimless without hood, so this combi kind of messy to me..

I am not so concern about the watt but how often do i need to change the bulb? 10x39w seem too large leh, 8x39w can do the job?

normally t5 if i remember correctly 8-12hrs per day probably you'll need change it every 8months or 10months. seniors correct me if im wrong

For ati, there is also a 6 tube version which is already very bright. Using a 2ft 4 tube sunpower, no issues with light penetration into my 22" deep tank

Yap..definitely better than 156 in term of wider colour spectrum used and also the dimmer control !
