Reefer 170

[andrew.gimlin]

Having a really hard time choosing a light for a reefer 170. I know what features I want but not sure which light to use. I have a budget of about $400 (with a little wiggle room), needs to be led (wife), needs to be able to be controlled by a reef keeper lite. Tank is LPS dominated (acans and euphilia) and I would love to eventually try some "easy" sps. I have been leaning towards a Kessil a360w but also looking at maxspect nano and an xr15w. Any experience or suggestions are greatly appreciated

How about the Hydra 26HD?

That's what I'm currently running on my SPS Dominated Reefer 170.

Do you use a controller and I assume if so it requires a specific cable to be used with the reef keeper

I currently use a Gen3 XR15 on my RedSea 170. Great light and it plenty for the corals you want. It has a built in controller so no need to buy any extra modules for your RKL.

So reef link isn't needed?

No you can connect via USB and program it. I have an xr30 gen 2 over my 170. I think the xr15 and other similar lights are too small personally.

I thought about the xr30 but it's just too much outside of my budget
