I am wondering if you guys think 2 xr15 pro’s would be fine on my 150 tall. 4’x2’x2’ on brs it says they spread 24” so I thought 2 of them would cover 4’. Mainly lps but sps in the future I’m sure. I could always add a third xr15. Any input would be appreciated.
 
Two would be good to start with LPS. You can add t5, led bars, or another xr15 when you start adding sps.
 
How do the AI PRIMES 16 or the reefled 90 compare to the xr15? Do you guys prefer one over the other. Or even the kessil
 
I used AquaRay tiles and strips.
I like the lights, but would not recommend them or the seller.
there's a post in the thread detailing why.
I have 2 xr30’s on the tank now but they are older models and run on reeflink. I don’t have the money to spend 1700 on lights right now. So I was wanting to do 2 xr15 gen5 pro’s. Then down the road add another. Or reefled 90’s or possibly ai prime 16’s.

not familiar with any of those.
the xr30's don't light the tank?

They do but they are old and run on a old software and they don’t like to stay on schedule. My tank will be just about asleep for the night and randomly the lights will. Owl on full whites. Over and over again. I’ll have to reprogram the lights. Then through the night the lights will come back on. So I just want to start fresh with new lights with a undated software. One of my xr30’s is a gen 3 the other is a gen 2.

plug them into a light timer until you get your upgrade. then at least they won't go on during your off time.

Yeah if I reprogram them they will be fine for a week or so then act up again. I think it’s just the reeflink losing connection or something.

aggravating.
I just bought a Reef Breeders Photon 48-V2+ for my frag tub.
not sure what par would be in a 30" deep.
well under $1700.

Ok I’m looking at all lights. Just trying to find something that will work but on a budget pretty much. Pretty much everything on my tank is outdated so I’m slowly trying to upgrade everything.

I just looked at that reef breeders photon 48-v2+. I think that just moved into the top spot on my list. For the money you can’t beat it.
 
just make sure it will light 30".
I know people that have it over a 24" and it works great for them.
If anything I’ll just keep my corals up from the very bottom. Or just put low light corals down low. I could also add other lights down the road if I need.
