Hi Everyone,
I have a 75gl fish/live-rock/invert only tank.

My (5yr old) 48" Coral Life canopy has finally failed. When it was in its prime we were using 2x48" CF 10K True Daylight and 2x48" Actinics.

To show how handy this girl is (LMAO) I replaced the ballasts / sockets almost two years ago. One replacement ballast has failed and the sockets have corroded, etc. Have been on 50% light for 3 months now.

TIME FOR NEW LIGHTS...

I am using two 18wt KILLER LED Floodlights at the 5K range. They provide plenty of coverage. I use miss my blue shimmery goodness.

Any thoughts on 24"-36" LEDS in that 10K range?

You're not gonna find a decent strip fixture, to my knowledge. But as far as fixtures, Rsdions, Sold and the cheaper ReefBreeders are all proven. You'd need 2 of each for a 48" tank
