Looking for lighting on a 180

[jstngates]

I have a mixed reed 6 foot 180. Would 3 ecotech 15s be enough? Or could I get by with 2 30s? Any other kinds and suggestions? I want timers and wifi so I can set different settings.

I would think a minimum of three XR30's would be required for an aquarium that size. The Gen 3 Pro's are on sale on a bunch of sites right now, and they are still a great light...

For full coverage and if you keep SPS, you are going to need at least 5 or 6 XR30 Gen 3.

I would go with 3 x 250 watt Radium with M80 ballasts and T5 HO. Awesome combination for mixed reef or SPS tank and costs you
a lot less.

Two Reef Breeder Photon v2 at 32" each. I think at $1150 for both, it's less expensive than what you are looking at. I use the 50" over my tank.

3 x Extreme 16" Wi-Fi SB Reef Lights would be perfect,3 channels, 40 set points for ramping for each channel.
