Lighting question

[parker420]

I am upgrading from a 75g to a 180g. I have 2 AI Vega LED lights now, and will need a 3rd for the larger tank. What to do? Purchase another vega? Do their upgrade kit to the new AI Fifty Two's? (300.00 for each kit.....then 600.00 for a 3rd) Or something all together diff? I'll be doing non aggressive fish, and coral. Thanks!

If it's possible to do so, I'd go with the upgrade. You're going to have a lot more tank to illuminate, so the 52's seem like a better fit. Then again, if you're only going to do softies and a few moderate-light LPS, you could probably get by with what you have and adding a 3rd. It all depends on you future needs. If you even remotely are considering some "high-light" acros and such, now would be the perfect time to upgrade your lighting. Just my 2c...
