brad908 November 2, 2015 Share November 2, 2015 Some type of hybrid lighting. 1. Reefbrite makes a led/halide combo 2. NanoBox has a t5/led combo 3. Giesemann are always top notch 4. ATI t5 fixture with some reefbrite LED bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpallas November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 Prepare yourself for some wet armpits! Have the same issue on my dropoff. I use an ATI T5/LED hybrid on mine, similar footprint. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I love the depth tho.. just the look of it draws me in... If I had the coin that hybrid would likely be my choice... I just don't... awesome light... looking fresh. Like the bare bottom. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thank you... love the BB.. painted bottom white like my last tank.. love the ease of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
