Nanoreef13 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 What direction are people running their leds? Are you running them from front to back or left to right? I'm thinking about remounting my lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap reefer Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think you would probably have a better spread if you went side to side mount...tank looks nice though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonvice Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have seen them both ways. On wider tanks I have seen them like yours, but run 3+ fixtures to cover the length of the tank. Yet, I have seen the exact opposite as well with 2 fixtures on a 4' tank. In your case, I would think having them run the length of the tank would give you a slightly more even spread, but neither way is right or wrong. Running them the width of the tank sure makes running the wires easier. Nanoreef13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Fraggenstien Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have 4 mounted like yours over my 120. If I was only running 2, i'd run them the other way. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
