Lighting help for my 30 gallon

[ksweat]

I was wondering if I would be able to keep SPS with my current light setup. I am running a 2 X 39w T-5 setup and 2 Panorama LED strips, both strips are the blue/white mix. My tank is a 30 gl long 36L X 12W X 16D and I have about 2.5inches of sand. I have been running just the T-5's for almost a year now and I have been keeping an open brain and favia brain with no issues and I have been able to keep them at any depth with no problem. My main limitation is space because I need to be able to fit all my lighting under a hood I was thinking about maybe adding 2 more of Panorama's because I really like them or would the lighting that I have already be enough.

this is just the T-5 setup by the way

With 2 more panoramas I would say no problem. Otherwise properly placed high in the tank under the current panoramas you could be fine.


BTW, nice tank!

Thanks I was thinking about getting 2 more blue ones instead of the blue/white combo to give me a little more color but I'm kind of worried about it being too blue.

They are quite blue. The color you have looks great to me. I would suggest the 50/50 Panorama.

Ok thanks, that's probably the way I'm gonna go and just use my T-5's to adjust the color
