Best lights for a 125g

[Ro Bow]

What is the best light that is "cheap" and has a mount (not a hanging light) that can grow sps? My tank will be a 125 gallon aquarium that is 6 ft long. Any suggestions?

Those are probably some of the top name brands rn. Reefbrites?

“Best” means different things to different people. What do you want out of your lights?
Plug and play?
All the options?
You need to start by identifying what your end goal might be and work from that point to figure out what you need.

Cheap will cost you more in the end when it fails or you decide to change it.
