Aquarium lighting

Question:

I have currentley have an irregular size pentagon corner tank with a surface area of 0.45m2 and a depth of 700mm.
the tank dimensions are 900 x 900mm with a 300mm return on each side leaving a front panel of around 800mm width.
At the moment it currentley has 2x24w 4x39w t5 and a 1000hd tile mixed blue and white.
I plan to replace the t5's with all led, what would you recommend ?
It is mainly LPS and soft corals but I may want to try SPS in the near future.
Many thanks
Paul

Hi Paul

Im afraid the only LED solution we offer at the moment is included as part
of our nano cube range.
Giesemann may be looking to market hybrid LED / T5 systems soon but no date
has been set as
far as im aware.

My personal choice would be to go for a halide/T5 system if you are looking
to go for SPS. Whilst
sps can be grown under high output LED systems i prefer halide lighting for
best growth/colour.

The Giesemann Spectra 1 x 250 watt/ 4 x 24 watt T5 would make a very nice
all in one solution as
the Spectra carries a very large reflector for single ended lamps and
external halide ballasts.
Using the 14.5k coral lamp and four actinic plus T5 you should be able to
achieve a very nice colour
balance plus get great growth from your sps.

A cheaper alternative would be the Infiniti unit.
