![]() I am trying to figure out what would be the best lighting option for a 24" x 24" x 22" cube tank. I would ideally like to go the LED route and do not want to be limited at all by the light I choose.
Some of the options I am considering: Radion XR30w G3 PRO AI Hydra FiftyTwo Any input would be great. Thank you. |

![]() I have given that a lot of thought. I don't like the idea of the heat of a halide. My place isn't super cool and I don't want to have to run a chiller ideally.
I don't have any experience with halides though. Maybe one would be the best option. |

![]() I have a single hydra 52 over my 30x30 cube and I think its great. Although I do prefer t5 I think.

![]() Everyone knows I love MH, but a tank that size will heat up quickly. Almost certainly requiring a chiller. Probably not the best choice for that setup.
If I were lighting a cube that size, I agree with the Kessil suggestions. I really like the color and lack of color separation with these.

Wow those are really cool and amazingly expensive. Why do you prefer T5? Everything I've looked into says that I would need a ton of T5's to light a deep tank. |
