    Thanks for the suggestions. I would prefer to keep the cost around $500 to $600 so I think the Radion is out for now. Would one AI Sol Blue light a 3' 40 Breeder? Again, the tank is only 16" high so IME, I don't need to pound the tank light especially since it is mainly lower light LPS. I also really like the light that a T5 fixture provides which is why I was leaning towards just upgrading to a 6 bulb simply to allow more color options. Maybe that alsone doesn't justify the expense?

    Love your fungia, I think that's what it is.

    Awesome looking tank.

    As far as lights, do you want to do DIY or something off the shelf? I think a DIY LED build would be awesome for you and with your price range, you'll probably have money left over with less power consumption, less heat, and no bulb replacement every year.
