i need good lights

[Tankedjulia]

I want to get new lights for my 29 gallon rectangle. I currently have live rock and sand, fish, bta, and mushroom coral. Im hoping to add pulsing xenia, devils hand leather, colt coral, brain coral, fox coral and bubble.

I can't find a hood that fits my tank that includes metal halides and t-5's??? I really dont want to have to hang the lights, but I will if its my only option. Does anyone have suggestions?

Is it a 30" tank?

Might have some good links for you...

Yep it's a 30". Thanks for the help. I've exhausted myself looking on the Internet for hours. Lol

The above is a cheaper built unit but I owned one and never had any problems with it. Some people will disagree though on that suggestion.

You want a 4 bulb system if you want corals and other light demanding creatures.

The fishneedit fixture is cheap and comes pretty well recommended by those who have purchased them. I dont personally own one though.

30" is a hard length, most fixtures go from 24" to 36" and skip the 30". LOL

Thanks! Looks like a great choice.
