LED advice

If you're on a budget the vertex is certainly not the fixture you should be considering, seems strange that's the fixture you would consider over other options being the most expensive. I also don't think one fixture will give you good results even if with your coral layout. One vertex is $2400 while two sunbrites are $2200, having two fixtures will allow full coverage plus you can run the back at a lower output. 6 sols or 4 radions would also be a better than one vertex, both are only $200 more than the single vertex at $2600 for the set.

I just added a second light to my 36 x 18 x 24





These are the Innovative Marine 92 watt dual spectrum tablet Skkye Lights. Got this brand because I found one unit used online for only $220. Got the other one new in town for $525... dollar cost averaging made these cost $372.50 a piece... just a little less than AI sols

Brent,

I saw that you sold that beauty of a t5/mh fixture you had.

What did you end up going with for a new fixture? or did you figure out that you could put in a skylight upstairs and just buy a bunch of mirrors?

I got a vertex 260 3 foot LED, im happy with it just concerned for my corals as they adjust plus trying to figure the expert mode programming. coverage seems good for my 4x3 tank area

good to hear that it worked out, i had no idea a 3ft fixture would cover such a large area. You should treat us to some pics when ya get a chance.
