    So far my options (for my 6 foot long 30 deep) tank is to use my 2 boost led fixtures or do a new DIY with low width heatsinks. Any other thoughts? I want to make sure the lighting accents the fish- anything I should be considering?

    Thank you

    Only your fishes...use the amount/color of light that makes you happy, but try to keep in mind what type of lighting the fishes are used to. For example, one wouldn't light a lionfish tank super brightly since they're crepuscular.
