    Hello!
    I'm looking to upgrade my 112 gallon tank which is 48"x18"x30"tall to a full LED system. I have a mixture of LPS,Polyps, soft, and one SPS (wanting more) and looking to get a carpet anemone . Thank you!!

    2 photon16s with 90 degree optics would put around 200 par on the sand bed. 60 degree optics would do more than that, but you would have to raise the lights higher.

    4 would cover a FOWLR with sps in the middle of the tank, and sofites/ lps in most of the system. 4 Photon32s with 90 degree optics would cover an sps reef tank.

    They are not in stock right now. You would be at about 10" with the 90s, 12-14 with the 60s.
