Hello folks, I am new here.. Really not new to the saltwater aquarium world though. I got out in about 2009, I was running a 90 gallon with 500 watts of MH lighting and other add on lighting to moon effect etc.. Well I have a 2 year old now and he is just amazed with the hobby. I went and bought a running 30 gallon tank with a clown and live rock etc.. but the thirst went back to a bigger tank, though the wife and I agree 90 was way to big for our tiny house so we settled on a 60 gallon. I see the lighting now days seems to have gone the way of led, which I think is great seeing how I used to burn so much water off with the MH.. So long winded as this is, what is a very budget friendly LED setup that will allow SPS to flourish and make the other tank creatures happy? Thanks in advance

I've been using an Evergrow it2080 on my tank for a couple years now. Mostly SPS. All are colored up and growing well for what most people told me was a cheap Chinese black box set.
LEDs have come a long way. They're also only one part of the formula to growing corals
