I just upgraded my 55 gallon tank to a 125 gallon.

I have duel USA current pro lights 48” on the loop system that came off the 55 gallon tank on the 125 now

Current corals I have are
3 variations of trumpets
2 variation of Zoa’s
1 Devil finger leather
1 acan
1 frog spawn
1 pulsing Xenia
1 war coral
2 mushrooms
1 rbt anemone (I know it’s a invertebrate)

Might want to get something more challenging in the future. But right now I’m new to the hobby so taking my time.
Nothing seems to be suffering with the lights I have now. But nothing seems to be excelling either. They seem to of done better and the 55 gallon that was a few inches shallower. And the 48” bars are not the best look.

Not trying to break the bank. Would like to stay under $500 or buy 3 lights one at a time to spread the cost out if I’m going to spend closer to the $1000-1200 mark.

So please help any ideas would be great.
 
In my experience, it is better to save for very good rather than spend $500 on what will be enough for now but not likely in the near future. Other options are black boxes for which there will be innumerable endorsements on R2R realizing that most will try to sell you on what they have as being the best as a way of justifying their choices. Not bad, just human nature. Just search for black boxes. Good luck

In the $1200 or less price range is there a way to go. I’ve been looking at the Kessal lights but there so many options
