Hello ARC-
Looking for a little help...I needed a new project to keep me busy this winter so why not start a frag tank. It wont be anything too big, just a 24X24X12. I obviously want to grow corals and know that water chemistry, flow and lighting are the "big 3". Ive got a great understanding of all but the last. Let me start off by saying that this will mainly focus on everything but SPS, although I would like the option to move in that direction if I so desire later on. I understand that 6500k is suppose to give the greatest growth but not the best color, so Ive settled on a 10k look. Now, what 24" fixture or so would be the most cost effective for my purpose? MH, mainly for SPS down the road, T5 or LED's. I am not partial to any of these, but most of my experience has been with LEDs. I would like to do this right the first time instead of buying another fixture down the road. So help point me in the right direction...thank you.
