Hi,
I have a Fluval 32 gallon and I’m looking to proceed with my next upgrade—lighting.
I am currently using two of the Fluval marine 3.0 led bars, which the top is designed to house. You can see from the photo below, I also fabricated a riser to raise the lid 4” to get the lights away from the surface, as I was difficult to keep the temperature below 81 degrees. I was also a bit concerned regarding the gas exchange with such a tight fitting lid. More details on my tank can be found here
my current top will be replaced with another canopy that is more aesthetically suitable for a DT in our living room. The canopy is a must, to keep my light-sensitive wife happy.
The tank dimension are
length: 32.5” (light bars of 30“ would be a difficult fit)
width: 15.75”
height: 15.35”
planned height above top of tank: 5” (this can be adjusted a bit) To allow for space above and around the fixtures. Depending on the type of lights I ultimately use, I will also need to address heat dissipation as well.
I am currently keeping various soft and LPS corals. They are growing under the current lights. I will not exclude adding SPS corals in the future.
I am looking for recommendations of suitable lighting.
Thank you.
