Hi everybody just got my hands on a 50 gallon innovative marine I was planning on using three 160s on it for lighting but does anybody else have any ideas I cannot afford an ap700.

Thx

If it were me I'd sell the three A160s and then buy two 360's if it's going to be a mixed reef. Alternatively you can sell the A160's and pick up a 6 bulb ATI.
 
i have a LED light, the oceanrevive if your interested in that. T247 I believe. Worked on my IM for mixed reef. upgraded to dual radions for sps dominate tank.
 
Hi everyone

Another question. I decided I will go with the 3 160s on the new 50 IM
I plan on removing the 2 from the IM 20 I am currently running. I have the new one I bought yesterday. so a total of 3 now.

The dilemma is now, what do I use to light the IM 20? I plan on making that one my rock, clownfish and anemone tank... no corals.
I see a used Radion 15 g3 on Ebay. Is that a good light for a 24 inch long footprint? 15 inches wide or so. Seems like a good light never used them before only kessils.

I used to have one 160 on the 20IM and it was not enough light, as you said Bruce, I have black sand, and a black background so I had to use 2 kessils 160 on that one. Now that tank will be lightless, so exploring options for it.

If i find a used 360We I might jump at that. But I keep hearing about these radions... TBH I dont want to shell out for a second Kessil spectral controlller if i dont have to for the IM20.
 
You can get all sorts of light for that tank. I have a few used rapid led onyx full spectrum led for sale if you want to try them out first your welcome to barrow it.
