Deep Tank.. Need Guidance.

I don’t know enough about planted tanks but had very good luck with Kessil’s on a reef tank that deep. They have an option for narrow focus lenses.

I am planning on using their planted tank on my planted tank but it will only be 22 deep.

GHL Mitras might be an option as well. LX7006/7004 models are on sale until the 28th with free shipping. They should have the power to punch down that deep as the 4 puck model is 135W and the 6 puck is ~200W at full power but it’s be worth contacting them to confirm. 4 puck would be roughly the cost of a Kessil 360X, WiFi is built in, and they’ll dim all the way down for moonlight. The lack of full dimming for moonlight was the deciding factor for me.

If you’re going with Kessils you might need more of them to cut down on the obvious cones of light you’ll probably see if you use the narrow lens option. But otherwise the Kessils should punch down that far and few options will give that kind of caustic lighting.

Buy 2 beamswork and go low tech . If co2 plants are your thing you got the wrong tank. The $ you will save on lights for 30" tank, you could buy a 40 breeder and fluval 3.0 .

I converted my 200-gallon reef to planted and I am using my ATI 6 bulb with plant lights from Geisman. My plants are growing great with a few breaking the surface after only a few months. I'll post some pics from my phone later. Oh and my tank is 24 inches deep.

 

I am sorry for busting the thread but can someone tell me how to post I am a new member and this seems very non intuitive do I need a secret batcode or something
