Help New Reefer Decide on Lighting

[sirreal63]

I have begun removing as much of China as I can on my tank. I only have a few pieces left to go. If it isn't of USA or European mfg. it isn't going on my tank. The quality control just isn't there and I have too much invested to tolerate a cheap component failing and taking everything else out.

That's a good way to think of it Max. Lights and flow are the minimum entry fee into the hobby, especially on a tank that size. Everything else is somewhere on the 'nice to have but optional' scale.
