Lighting system

[Tamnera33]

Hey, beginner here. Just put together a 90 gallon setup. The last step I'm looking for is advice on lighting. I've been taking my time on putting it together, and trying to do it budget friendly. Any advice of what lighting system to get? Was looking at current usa, but have found mixed reviews because of my tank being 24 inches deep. Thank you

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! Do you have a plan for the type of corals (or fish only) that you plan to keep? What about a budget? You will likely find people with all kinds of lights here!

Do you have a light budget?

Cant go wrong with T5's. You can usually pic up used units for a good price too.

Thank you. I'm not looking for anything too extravagant. I would like to have some easy to maintain, but yet beautiful fish to enjoy. I'm still not sure what would best suit my setup. I would like to get some easy corals and anemones once it is established. My budget for lights is in the 400 to 500 range due to having another child on the way lol.

Being that I'm just getting into the hobby, I'm going simple, just some easy corals and fish. I was told to get the current usa dual pro system, but I have concerns with the depth of the tank.

Welcome!!!
I personally would go with a T5 LED hybrid just because it works and it's not going to put a hole in your pocket (unless you get lots of Radions Lol.
