Need ideas for lights. Tank is 5 ft long, 30" wide, and 18" tall. It has 2 glass braces across the top (front to back)
Tank will be mostly LPS/
mushrooms.
I'd prefer to use T5's or T5/led hybrid and might need to go with 3 smaller fixtures placed front to back (e.g. three 24" AquaticLife hybrids).
I do already have an ATO Sunpower 60" 8 bulb fixture but worry that I'll have too much light spill at the ends and not enough coverage in the front and back.
I won't have a canopy so DIY lighting really isn't an option.
Ideas/advice about specific lights and mounting options appreciated.
TIA!
Edit: Even though I'd prefer to use T5's, I'm also open to all-LED options
