Yes i know I put this post before but need more help So I have a standard 75 gallon reef....
lps and softies tank and it will always be that...
I have two black box leds and they are doing the job but I just feel like the color is not there the coral grows great.. I feel like I am missing a lot of color .. they do cover my whole tank and give great par around it as well but maybe is time to upgrade for better coloration .... and better spectrum

I really want radions so that I can pair them with my EcoSmart as I already have mp40s but I can only get the xr15s will they cover all the tank with two of them ....

Second choice are hydras 26 hd two of them
3rd choice are the Reef led 90 2 of them
And which ones will last me as I am always in a budget hahaha
The hobby can get expensive
Here are some picture of the tank so it can better help I guys see which led will help

I can't help you with your decision for a new LED but I have the same light you have now and the problem I have with them is the 6-3700K warm whites on the ends. They give the tank a way too yellow look. If you don't want to change out the LEDs, I suggest covering the four corner LEDs and two of the Reds with some electrical tape. Try running them 3 to 1 blues to white channel also (like 75% Blue to 25% white). This cut back the disco effect and gave my tank the color I was after. I think you will still have the PAR you need and for softies and LPS. Might be worth a try before you spend a bunch on new lights.
 
Have you considered just upgrading your board. I see good reviews of the sbreeflight boards which can be put into regular black boxes.
 
I have the Maxspect Razor X 200w for my 75 gallon with the wife controller. It keeps the corals happy, has plenty of color adjustments and the app is easy to use.
 

The new ReeFi lights are my favorite. The best color I have seen from an LED.

The spectrum is based on Goldenbasket Reef’s photography tank.
