Marsaqua leds for 65g tank?

[telathas]

Hello, I am looking to set up a 65g reef tank and have been looking for some affordable lighting options since I am on a little bit of a budget (~$800-900) and have come across the marsaqua leds. Does anyone have any experience with these? I've read a few threads which say some pretty good things about these leds but I'd like your opinion. They would be going in a tank around 65g, which is 36x 18 x 24 high so I'm wondering if it would reach that depth. I don't plan on getting sps, but lps is certainly something I wouldn't mind getting. Thanks for the help!

Go to the lighting and filtration forum and there is a thread all about those leds.They are good lights.

I like mine, put two on my 24" deep 48" long tank. They light a 24" cube so your floor and the ends of the tank will be dim. I think you can get away with it by placing specimens carefully though, unless you don't like the look of a single light in the center of the tank.
I'm talking about the 165w model, I think they also make a 300 watt that is a longer rectangle.

Yea they have the 300W 36", thats what I have on my 50g

Would I be able to get away with one of the 165w or would it just be better to get the 300w (or two 165w)?

Id go with two lights to cover the tank better.

One light on that tank is going to leave corners and sides dark.
