Lighting help?!?

[Theo15]

Can you guys please help me out ?
I'm confused on what lighting to get for my new setup, it's a 150gallon about 30in deep and 24in from front to back, 48in long. I looked at all the lighting but can't find anything solid ,maybe you guys can help , I want to keep a mixed reef...

I'm very happy with my SB Reef Light "Ultra" 48" unit. Plenty of power. Controllable on your phone. No fans to make noise. Very solid construction.

It’s all about the budget. Then color choice , then coverage , then furniture appeal.

Ie. Four radions hung low with diffusers would look great but....

What about kessil? Radions are nice but I've read mixed reviews..

Not yet. Tank is still maturing. Gorgonians mostly now.

All about the budget yea.

I have SB and acros yes. I know a lot of folks with kessil and acros and radions w acros. So IMO. It’s not really about the lights.

Your dimensions are close to my old tank. I had cheap knock off metal halides. Just bought a reefer 350 with hydra 26 hds and it is amazing the difference. Ive seen colors on my coral that ive never seen before and its been 2 days. Just dont skimp on lights, they can make or break your tank.
