Can't decide on lights.

Hey everyone, I need some input. I have a 33 long display drilled and set up as a peninsula. I'm going to upgrade lights and it's pretty much down to two either a reefbreeders photon v1 32"-48" or two artic t247. I like all the features of the photon and that it'd be a single fixture. The t247 looks like a nice light also but I'm kinda reading contradicting things about "ramping" on it. Any feedback or input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Also I'll be buying used most likely if that makes a difference to anyone lol

What I'm see that's contradicting is there's no ramping but then the manual seems to read that you can change intensity every hr, also can whites be shut completely off to only run blues? Thanks Jcbueno

Fixture have two build in timers and control blues and whites independently,
you have to set the intensity manually,

Save some money and buy the 32 inch reefbreeder V2. Lights are the most important upgrade you can make. It is and investment that will last 5-8 years with the right led system. You should be able to get it for right at $500. These lights are great for ALL coral so you wont need to upgrade. This light would be perfect for your tank

I was leaning more towards the reefbreeders but wanted to get that last bit cleared up before I made the decision. Thanks theblackpearl
