I had a 200 gallon reef 15 years ago then had to move and leave the hobby. I never lost interest and am finally in a position to set set up a new however smaller reef (40 gal) . I see lighting has gotten alot more compact since the days of VHO full size flourecents tubes. 15 years ago I had blue actinic and 20k metal hallides that grew great soft corals and made the fish colors pop.This lighting system hoiwever, was big and hot and bulky. I see LEDs are now out and compact flourences. If anyone can give advice I would appreciate. I like the shimmer effect but am not 100% sold on it.Thankyou
