I have a budget of roughly 200 bucks and was looking at a 36" orbit Led with controller or one ebay 165watt dimmable for my new tank 36x24x16 mainly keeping zoas and softies and maybe a frag or 2 of sps. I plan on purchasing the light next week.

I have one of the ocean revive arctic s026. I also had the reefbreeder value fixture. I think both lights are well worth the money. I changed to the OR due to the light spread difference, the OR has more spaced leds. The cube styling of my tank is a little harder for front to back light coverage. Check them both out.
the t247 looks like a programmable version of the s026 and is on sale for less

Be sure that you have enough light covering front to back on the tank... At 24" that's quite a bit of spread you will need. I'm not too familiar with the OR lights yet but I wouldn't recomend the RB value fixture alone... maybe if it was hung high enough,or lenses completely removed, but still not a ton of light on that size tank. Are you set on getting LED lighting?

The front to back part of the tank is why I suggested the OR over the RB. Iam currently running a 45g cube from marine land.
What's good kraze, your friend ready yet !

I think the 24" might have been the height of the tank not front to back. Either way please post with a review of your selection. I have a 65G, 36w x 18d x 25h that I am contemplating leds. thanks Kurt.
