Led recommendation

[Gaxmode]

Looking for a nice led set up for my 48x24hx18d 90 gallon. Want to get lps near sand bed or low in tank and maybe eventually some sps up higher. Need some recommendations. The lfs sold me cheap LEDs that aren't suited for lps.

im abit of a radion fan boy.
2x xr30 gen 2 2nd hand or newer if you can find them

 

[Gaxmode]

Would 1 be enough or would I need 2 to cover whole footprint of tank?

@ 48 you need two and if your running lps mainly id get the 120 degree tir lenses. not as high on par but a good spread.

thats why i said 2nd hand units.

there are so many units and brands its a total over kill. alot of them are perfectly fine. two mars units turned down to 50 or 60% would also work well just dont have the fancy ramping and setting /multi channels etc

You could get away with 2 x xr15's if you want to stay on a budget. (Essentially two halfs of s xr30. But you can space them out more For Better spread!

Cool so two of these

Then if needed later down the line I could add 1 more. Two should be able to power lps with no problems at 24" depth?

Nanobox quad plus or two duos

ReefBreeder Photon 32 or 48 in the V-2 version. The 32" is really big enough for your tank and inside your budget. The 48" is really for a 5' tank. And they have a sponsor forum here at RC. I've been running 2 or the older version 32" fixtures for 3 1/2 years now and I've had zero issues with them.

That 48" photon v2 does look pretty enticing..

A pair of brand new AI Hydra 26HD units would fit the bill and come in under budget

Photon 48 I've been running mine for close to 2 years awesome growth and great price and great customer service

 

[Gaxmode]

I went with 2 radion xr15w pros

 

[Moray26]

Maxspect razor 320w 48"

For an $800 budget I would go with 2 Kessil A360WE Tuna Blues. They are tunable, controllable, offer a really clean install, and should cover that footprint quite well.

Got mine here

I like the AI hydra 26s but I'm starting to like the kessils the more I read about them.
