Choosing the Right LED LIGHTING For Your Saltwater Aquarium - Mega Matrix 120 - Mega Matrix 120

One of the biggest things we get asked about is lighting. In this episode, we will discuss how to choose the right light for your reef tank and will reveal which light we have chosen for our Mega Matrix 120. We’ll review the four main types of lighting, PCs, Metal Halides, T5s, and LEDs, sharing which ones are on the way out and which lights we prefer. We’ll review what factors to consider when choosing a light for your aquarium, and share other tips like how high above the water line you should mount your light and what your color temperature should be.
