Soooo lol don’t all throw snowballs at me but since your experimenting, why not the current orbit marine pros? (I don’t mean the ic loop ones either) the ones right before it. I have two of them on my 240 gallon tank, that’s full of sps, lps, softies and Maximus clams and they are stunning.
Granted they don’t have the fancy name and reef link etc, which is great for me since I still have a 90s flip phone. But for the money, you could get two of these that are 72 inch long, they will sit right on top of the tank as well. Plus I think some places have them for half off still, others still have them for 800 each. However I found new ones for 400 ish on line. Instead of spending 3,000 on lights you could spend less than a 1,000 and take your family on another vacation. Just think you can have twice as much memories up there.
But I’d be happy to show you pictures of my lights and how well they are doing on my 240 gallon. I have learned since I’m new in this hobby, but just because it’s expensive and has a neat name, doesn’t always mean it’s truly the best. As some have found out, I’m a research nut, in which I did tons of research on these lights. They are very very good lights to use.
These are some pics of my tank about a week ago roughly. My tank has been up barley for six months. Granted these pics are with my little Nokia flip phone so bare w me. But again, just showing what else is out there to explore.
