The tank is 200 gal with a 20 gal sump what fixture would you recommend

I'm in the market for a new fixture to turn my fowlr into a reef tank its 220 gal its 60"l 30"w 22"d im not really sure what type of fixture I need I'm up for anything t5ho metal halide or led my price range is around 300-400 I was recommend on this sight the taotronics fixture but after reading...

After reading a lot of reviews on that fixture I'm not sure that's the light for me due to the fans being super noisy

Where is the best place to purchase those at

Im sorry I gave you the wrong measurements after I measured it didn't look to be that big its 60 l 30 w and 22 d I was think a 48" light would work that's what's on it now just a flouresent fixture but it lights the tank well

I would like to stay 300 or below but if I can get something that will work much better for a little more I would go that route

Its 60"l 40" w 40" d I'm not really sure on the corals my favorite is the frog spawn and aneomes I like the flowing type of coral but anything with lots of color catches my eye I like

You can use water from your display and treat with curpamine by seachem and use seachem multi test kit use as directed the rich has a life cycle and the copper will kill the free floating stage which will in turn cure your fish make sure not to over dose also a UV sterilizer will help to kill...
