lighting a 75 gal tank

[fishnplants]

so im upgrading my tank to a 75 gal, and im thinking of getting a light that can accomidate for both lps and sps corals, a good all around light. i cant hang anything so it would have to be clipped on the side or somethin. i was thinking of the fluval marine 145 watt maybe 150. i dont really have to much knowledge on what works and what doesnt in the lighting community. any sort of help is appreciated!

Hello, what is your budget

 

[bradreef]

A couple ai hydra 32's would be the standard. Radions are way pricey and then adding rim mounts.

Budget? Any preferences?

 

[fishnplants]

im thinkin 3 to 400 maybe more depending on the light

 

[fishnplants]

but idk whats considered the avg amount needed to spend for optimal growth/coverage

 

[bradreef]

For that budget and can grow sps. 2 noopsyche. Just over 400.
Cheaper option 2 smatfarm g5s.

I'm a t5 guy, but those need to be hung. I was going to suggest the new blades. From what I understand you would need two. Most suggest 1 glow and 1 grow but that would be a little out of the budget

i dont mind doing them in half purchases if i was to grab one of the blades which would i grab first the grow or glow? and for both its 400 or per for the noopsyche but same thing w this could do the half purchase. whatre the specs like on the lights?

I have a reefbreeder on my 75 works and fits nice. I love my radions but there spendy.

 

[Cichlid Dad]

Grow imo but do your research. Make sure it fits your needs. I have been and they seem close to t5 spread and spectrum. They sit right on top of the aquarium.

 

[fishnplants]

whatre these new blades and can i set a schedule on them/ have an app? and i was looking at the new radions and its crazy how much they aree for oneee
