SRC Member jxlex Posted March 29, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted March 29, 2012 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 Quote :: just a noob :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengyang_neo Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 How about ATI 10x39w Powermodule?

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..

mjck Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameshong Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Reason read about Orphek nilus what do you guys think ?seem quite good to me. Yap..definitely better than 156 in term of wider colour spectrum used and also the dimmer control ! Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
