New 36 bow - Lighting help

[Kactai]

So I'm already going to be setting up a second tank (75 g tank was set up a few months ago at my GF's tattoo studio, she now wants one at home too).

On my 75 g I picked up a 48'' to 60'' Current USA orbit marine LED after very little research. I am very happy with the price of this unit but I'm not completely sold on the fact that it is underpowered for sps corals.

The new tank will be a 36 g bow. I will start with a mainland canister filter for now until I can find suitable tank for the sump and money for a skimmer and return pump.

I'm looking for recommendations for the most cost effective/quality LED light for this tank that will have all of the flexibility to let me grow whatever my GF's little heart desires (SPS).

Any advice/recommendations would be very much appreciated. I'm mostly budget limited at the moment having just set up the 75g.

Thanks

I'd get a reefbreeder "value" fixture . If she has a blue thumb ,it will grow anything she wants.

That seems like a decent unit! What about the kessil A160?

I wouldnt mind spending a bit more for some ability to program. Under 400$ would be nice probably 500$ max

Then I would do a radion

Sweet! I've looked into those! Now to find a distributor in Canada!

What size radion would you suggest for the 36 gallon bow?

Xr15 or xr30?
