Lighting help

I have a 90g that I am setting up and was wondering if two Red Sea ReefLed 50s would work for mainly lps.

Im not the best at lighting. But my red sea 70 has two 90s on it. My unknown brand 125 needs 3 at least to get good light. Like I said, not the best at understanding the science behind it but I could at least give you the number of lights I just for my two systems, one bigger and one smaller than yours! My corals love the red sea lights too

being that these are 40wt lights, I would go with a pair of Ai Prime or hydra 26 or 32 or even two noopsyche K7 pro for both cost-shimmer and deep penetration to tank bottom.

Hello, I hope I’m a bit of help.

For a 90 gallon, considering it to be 4 foot, two RedSea LEDs 50s make work, but the corals would want some more juice as they grow, so I’d go for the LED 90’s. RedSea’s ReefLED’s aren’t very very bright, so it can be misleading as to how much or how little and also how pleasing the amount of light is. This is the RedSea Reefer 350 90 gallon with 2 Reef LED 90’s:

These are with the lights running mostly blues at around 90% not the best quality photo (sorry btw) but it does process hwo dark the lower spots can be, and this is with 90’s not 50’s. Not saying they can’t be brighter though
