Ok, I've made some decisions on my lighting for my 36g Corner tank. I'm using an Ice Cap 250w E Ballast & 250w XM 20k DE.
Now to the reflector or in this case, the pendant. A 36g Corner is kind of tricky with it's deminsions. I need a pendant that will spread light easily, and not just shoot a beam of light down. I want to eliminate dark edges & corners in the tank.
Here's some dimensions to help:
From back corner to front of tank (bow) is 24"
From side corner to other side corner (width) is 34"
These are maximum distances from front to back & side to side.
I'd like some of your experience with pendants such as the:
Lumen Max 3 11"x11"
Reef Optix 3 11"x9"
Hamilton Reefstar 16.5"x10.25"
Ice Cap 15"x9"
Any other suggestions? Must be DE.
Of course, I'm looking for something that will spread the light front & back and side to side.
