Need low profile lighting options

[oakengineer]

I've got a Current system that is about 4 years old that is rusting. I'd like to replace it. I had it sitting directly on top of my 65 gallon reef. I don't have a lot of options because my tank is inside of a desk, so I only have about 4" above the tank I can use for lights. Looks like current has a dual system now that I could replace it with. Double the light sounds good. One strip was somewhat underpowered. Although I assume it will eventually rust like the old one. But I can mount it to the hood instead of sitting above the tank which should help with some amount of salt spray.

What other options should I look into?

Orphek makes some nice strip lights that would be perfect for your tank. Reefbrite strips are another option.

Corals? Fish only?
Budget?

I have a variety of corals. Mostly LPS. And a few fish.

I don't have a budget. Whatever the cost is fine.

I checked out the Orphek strips. That seems like a reasonable option. They're cheaper than the Reefbrite strips.

Reefbrites have been around for years and they work, but not much has changed. They are royal blue and white only as far as I know. Orphek will do any color combo you want.
