USA Sundial T5 HO

[bulldog123]

Im looking at new lighting and would like some input on this setup or others.
It has 2x24w 10k + 2x24w 460nm artinic + 2 lunar lights. I have a 50ish corner tank with a all glass top. I have a few zoos, leather mushroom, frog spawn, and would like to add somemore soft corals and maybe a brain later and a green bubble tip and a few fish. LFS only has 2x24 coral life lights. I think I would like/need more lights if im going to spend money for new ones.

If your tank is under 20 inches tall the sundial would allow you to keep even a few SPS up on top of the rocks but you would want to ditch the stock lamps withing about 6 months and before adding the anemone. They don't have great output.

I got the same fixture on a 20 long, and it could still use an upgrade on bulbs, especially for anenomes

Thanks for the help but i found a light with 130 watts. Orbig 24" 1X65w + 1x65 actinic and 2 lunar lights. This is the most watts i could come up with for this corner tank. And it saved me $30 which i can spend on timers that dont come with this setup. Thanks for your time. If you have any opinions on this setup it shouldnt ship for a couple of days.
