As the topic says, I am looking for different opinions and options for lighting a 20L AGA frag/prop tank. I plan on housing every type of coral in this tank from softies, LPS and SPS.

My planned set up currently is as follows,

20L AGA
CPR Aquafuge PS2 with modified MJ1200 or MJ900
2 Hydor Koralia pumps with a possibility to run an additional 2 or 2 MJ PH modified with impellers
Aquaclear 200 to run with carbon/floss also for extra water movement

Possible Lighting???

T5HO on Universal Ballasts 4x24W
Possible bulb choices for the T5HO set up would be
2 BluePlus, 1 Actinic White UVL and 1 ATI Aquablue


If I go the T5HO route I plan on doing a retrofit into a custom hood to match the stand I am building. I'll save all that for another topic. *lol*

Cheers,
Alex
 
I am assuming that T5HO reflectors and bulbs do not come in 30" lengths as all I am finding is 24W bulbs that the bulbs and reflectors are 24" instead of 30".

Will this be a big deal? Possibility for dark corners in a 30" long tank and only having 24" bulbs/reflectors?

Cheers,
Alex
