Hi all,

For my 90cm tank, i am looking to get 1 unit of MH + 2x 39W T5. Will be keeping mostly soft corals and placing them on the left & right side of tanks and the centre portion for some LPS.

What will be a good recommendation?

[1] 1x150W + 2x 39 T5 integrated in a single unit??

[2] Buy individually for 1x150W MH & the T5 in a separate package?

[3] Looking for opinion for the Giesemann Nova II unit. One of the reefer is selling 2nd hand. Understand that it is using low-loss magnetic ballast. How does that compare to electronic ballast.

With so much information, i am abit confused. Need help to make a better decision before committing :thanks: a million :bow: :bow:

Main Tank: 5 x 1 x 1

Return from overflow: Eheim compact+ 5000

Lighting: 2x 54W T5

Skimmer: Deltec SC 1350

Chiller: Arctica 1/10

Wave Maker: Tunze Nano Wavebox & Tunze 6055 with Photocell
Monitor 1: American Marine Pinpoint pH monitor
Monitor 2: American Marine Pinpoint Temperature monitor

Hi bro

I will only answer those questions I am capable of:

But before that. 1 x MH spread across 90cm will not give your tank an evenly distributed illumination. Unless you create a mountain in the center. If you want to use MH, you should consider having 2 instead of 1 MH. Regardless of softies or LPS... you still need to provide even lighting to the tank... also for visual aesthetic of it.

1) Intergrated unit is preferred if you do not have a proper hood to hide all the units. A partial hood can also help conceal the T5 while your MH pendant hangs down from the ceiling. But without a hood, you tank will look messy.

2) Refer to (1)

3) Geissmann is a very good and reliable brand. That's all I can contribute.

Hope this helps :lol:

Without a hood, I will suggest you go with all-in-one fixture.

I previously used a Solite 2 x 150W MH + 2 x T5. Not bad for the price range. You may want to consider that as an option. Of course there are more "branded" option such as an AquaMedic fixture. You can go to my tank thread to see my old Solite:

      Decommissioning Sales of 5f Reef Tank

      After more than 14 years into this hobby, I am disheartened but to end this hobby. I have a 5ft tank that is controlled by APEX and Redsea controller. It is very complete in my opinion as I have a total of 10 doser, UV, water and leak sensor, water level monitoring, waterflow monitoring, AI HD lighting, dual return pump, Reefmat 1200, Nyos skimmer, external refugium tank, Trident KH, CA, Mg automatic tester, Vortech Wavemaker and many more. There are fish and coral hence I reckon I need to decom this in stages unless there is a kind soul to take everything at one go. One of my favourite fish is Achilles Tang. I will try to post more pictures and meanwhile, do PM me for more information. I would give priority to mass sales over individual item hence please understand.
