Low Profile Lighting Recommendations

[chazman113]

I have a 90 Gallon setup with a canopy only about 4.5" Deep. Right now I have some led bars on timers that work ok but aren't of the best quality or color temp.

I'm looking for something low profile LED that has a controller for ramp up/moon built in and is of a decent quality but don't need anything super expensive. Recommendations?

I have mostly softies but a few LPS and BTAs

Dag so that would run $1000 right? Any cheap knock off versions? I'm sure it's a good product tho, I have the gyre it's great.

Do you have a standard 48" long 90? What size and how high do you have it above? I would think the 180Watt Model wouldn't do full coverage if it wasn't up very high.

Nevermind about previous post I see there is a 48" Version, you have that right? Looks very nice but very expensive. With those legs would it fit the 4.5" footprint or would I need to attach it to the canopy? I just perused the manual and it seems like the automatic mode is pretty easy to program, does it ramp up between the time periods or just, for example, change from 50% to 70% when it hits a new time period?

Have you looked at the new Reef Breeders Photon V2? It's extremely thin!

Ah that might be my favorite yet. Few questions for ya....

How do you like the timer/setup feature? WIFI sounds cool but I'm always of the school if you make something more complicated it tends to be more of a hassle in the long run (And I'm an IT guy, lol).

Would it be ok if I only had it about 4" above the surface? It looks like the legs are adjustable.

How is the fan noise? I'd imagine at that price point they wouldn't put crappy fans in it.
