OK. My 90 gallon has been up and running since September. I initially opted for the Current USA Marine IC Dual setup, and obviously its not strong enough for a lot of what I would like to do. I'm interested in upgrading my lights to handle Mixed reef with some SPS. Its a standard 90 gallon Aqueon rimmed with a center support. I'd like to stay at or below $1000 if I could. It can be any combination of things, nothing is off the list. Was considering two of the new AI Hydra 32HD's, but was wondering if those would be enough? All the options have my head spinning....maybe Kessil's or some other combo/hybrid fixture? Obviously two radions are outside my budget. Help please!!!
 
I used to run SB reef, in fact i have 3 of the old 16 basics over my 220. However for my new 72 build, i went with 2 Hydra 32s. WIll do plenty for what im after for sure. I was going to go SB reef, but after about 2 months of waiting. ( my LFS is a dealer so he did all the hard work for me) first one came damaged after a month of waiting, Second one was unable to be delivered via damage after an additional month, and just what ive been reading and experiencing with the customer service woes. I see them spreading themselves thinner and thinner. Decided to go a different way.

I will say i grew coral like a boss with my Sb reefs, and if you end up with one, you will love the fixture. It was the customer service woes that i decided to go another way.
 
Yes, it's very difficult to contact them unless you are using Facebook. Other's have found Facebook to be the best method of contact.

I have a SB 45 Ultra on my 90. Wonderful light. Well built. Lots of power.
