Good budget friendly lighting for 40B w sps?

[Slammed01]

Good budget LED for 4 breeder with SPS/Polyps? Had a ReefBreeders value fixture on my 46Bow and 54 Corner with great results. 1 of 2 went out but only ran 1 so wasn't worried. Long story short tossed one and sold one with my custom canopy.

Looking to keep mostly sps/coral frags, nothing to wild. Mostly for my kids *winkwink lol. A led strip (if any good ones) or value style or Evergrow 120 style. I could build another canopy I suppose. Which it was a better tank, hard with 36"-18"-16" deep.

Anyone run 1 value style or evergrow on a 40B? Lighted both tanks awesome, 46 bow same width at 36".

The 300w aka 30 and 32in black boxes are the go to. Low budget lamp.
I'm am sbreeflights fan. Many use the mars aqua.

The kids will like the built in timer with the ramping model

Ill +1 for the sbreeflight. Ran two basic 16's over my 40B and it was perfect.

That model is likely to not have the lenses to make it poerfull enough to do much. The manufacture actually Reccomend two for that size tank and it's not gong to do acros or clams. The newer ones the lensed pro model has more poop to it. Also more $$ to it. Myself , I'd really look used first and poke around for the best deal new. But the safe and low budget is still the bb.

Had one on Cardiff halfmoon Aquarium, before I purchased the 40B. So I just ordered another 16 for max cover.

+1 for sbreeflight, I got this light about 2 months ago and couldn't be happier with its performance.
