How many Boostled Par30 for a Nano Cube 28?

[duoc9119]

I am replacing the CF hood to these bulbs but not really sure which to choose. I plan on using the 3 royal blue/ 2 cool whites, but I want to know how many and which optics (40 or 60)

My plans is a mixed reef with a possible clam. Will 2 40 degree bulbs be enough? Or should I go with a 40 and 60 mix? The 40 degree will obviously be where the SPS and clam will be located.

I would like to try to keep this at 2 bulbs if possible. I am leaning towards two 40 degree optics though.

I would go with two 60 optics, only because i don't like the spotlight look

Those are all the 40 optics I'm pretty sure.

Go with the 2 60s, and point them inwards, if that makes sense.

That is what I was leaning towards as well but is that enough for SPS?

If they're close enough, definitely. With wider optics the power is lessened, but not by too much, 18" off the sandbed would be great, possibly a little higher
