Right now I have a 125 gallon that has no canopy.

It is 6 foot long.

I have three reefbreeder LEDs above the tank, hanging from the wall off L brackets.

What would be the easiest way, and what type of lights would you recommend for stricly adding color to the tank for corals



old picture, tank has been re scaped, and has lots more corals, purple algae, blue backer...well see my build thread.

What can I do to add more color, best bulks, best fixture. Don't want to spend a whole bunch.

I was thinking a canopy, but dont know if the leds, and t5s would fit in a 6 long.

Only way would be to build a canopy. Run 2-80w retrofit t5s. U can do what Justin said and build a floating canopy, or one that sits on top of ur tank.

You can also build a "rail system" to suspend the LEDs and attach the T5's, but may not look as clean. I'm thinking like aluminum square tubing....sort of like the AI Sol's.
