Hey all I am currently running a 75 gallon aqueon reef tank. My question is in regards to lighting. I am currently running 2 nicrew 100 watt led lights On the tank everything seems to be running good so far but I would like to see what better options I could run. I like the fact that some lights have a moon light setting however I have the big euro brace on the top of the tank and it’s 1.5 inches so mounting is a concern of mine. I had to screw the arms of my current light to the wall in order to make it work. Any advice or suggestions would be amazing.

your lights look good, just keep your eye on your coral. adjust as necessary like most of us do.

Hey there. Reeffactory is a fantastic option to light your aquarium. 2x Reef flare Pro Mediums would be more than enough to cover your 75G. We have been testing these lights for over 12 months and find amazing colour and better spread than other competitors on lower power. Corals seem to love them better too. Here’s a link for you to have a look.Hey all I am currently running a 75 gallon aqueon reef tank. My question is in regards to lighting.

john from Novice Reeffkeepers has also done an excellent tutorial on par readings with these lights. Check them out - .
All the best

I bought 4 reef flare pro blues for a 72”x30”x26”high tank. They recommend mounting 12” above tank which seems high. Any recommendations on mounting height above water/tank?
