Currently cleaning out the remnants of my freshwater tank in preparation for converting to saltwater. Measurements of this tank are 7 feet long by 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall. As I clean everything out I am trying to plan as well.
I would like to have some sort of mixed reef tank. I suspect par numbers for something so deep will be low at the bottom but I'd like to do my best to keep my coral options open. What kind of lights should I be looking at? It looks like kessil a500x's with the 35 degree lenses are good option for punching deep into the water. Are there any other options I could be looking at? I suspect that I would supplement with t5's for more diffuse lighting as well.
