    Lighting a 90 gallon corner reef tank.

    I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to best light a 90 gallon corner reef tank. I want to keep anemones in there and clams so it needs to be powerful, but the shape of the tank makes most normal lighting fixtures tough to work with. Any ideas ?

    Oh, and to make matters more difficult I have the tank set up like a V shape so all of the Coral and live rock are lining the back walls.

    Re: Lighting a 90 gallon corner reef tank.

    Hi mateI came accross your thread looking for corner tanks - I have a 90g trigon bow front that comes with 4 T5's in a biult in cover. I started out with LR lining the walls however this restricts flow and lighting is difficult to get to the sides because of the shape and cover / tank bracing. I ended up replacing the T5's with LEDs from Aquaray (no reason other than i liked the look of them).To fit them I made a ply wood top cut to shape /size that the lights sit in, painted it black then used fibreglass resin to seal it.Hope this helps with some ideasCheersSnoops
