Finding A Light for New Tank

[GumboStewart]

I got a new Tideline AIO aquarium and am pretty confused on what would be a good light for it. It is the 47 gallon lagoon measuring 36 x 19 x 16 inches. I've looked at lights such as the a360x or the a500x yet I would like to not break the bank trying to simply get a light. If anyone has any recommendations for some lights that are sub $300 and could fit my tank dimensions for a wide variety of corals, it would be very appreciated!

Viparspectra 300w.
If you’re into hanging.
2 Nicrew 150w
If you want HOB.

Used both 5 years going now.

Very powerful, so run low, say 30% for months, then max out at 60%.

What lights did you decide to purchase, and how do you like the tideline 47?

Reefi Lab Uno 2.0 lights. They are not under $300, but at $480 each they are HALF the price of Radion, Kessil, Orphek, Neptune Sky etc, and they are more powerful than all those lights I listed.

They also come with the best warrenty in the industry at 3 years. I have personally seen Daniel Lu the creator active on his FB at 9pm CST doing customer support and then he answered my questions at %30am CST the next day.

Here is the FB page, check out these lights please before you buy anything else.

I run 4 of them on a 300g 8foot tank at about Half Power and I am putting 100par on the sand in 27 inches of water.



Picture of my Light Profile, note that I am only using 119 watts of the 270w available at my Peak Time.



What ever you go with, I hope they work better than you expected!!
