Get two noop lights. They will have better color visually then the ones you listed.

I tried smatfarm and sent it right back to Amazon. The color visually just wasn’t there.

Otherwise consider buying used lights of the main brands to bring them into your price range.
 
I run a Photon V2 and just PAR'd it in my 80 gallon cube. It's right on the money....I get 400 PAR at the surface and 150 on the bottom of a 24" tank. It's a super nice light, even if it is a rebranded import. They ain't cheap anymore though....I got my 24" for like sub 400, now they are 550+. The shipping from overseas is killing importers.
What are your settings?
I just ramped it up to
6% red, 12% green, 100% blue, 80% white, violet and light blue.
I'm at 330 at the top of the rock and 100 near the bottom. This is with the lenses completly removed and a shield I made to protect from slashes.

I run only 4 channels via the apex chip, I'm at 80% on violets, 80% on cool blues, 80% on royal blues and 15% white. I'm mounted about 10" from the surface of the water with the optional bar mounts.
 
What about this or would I be better off just buying two brand new smart farm


Noopsyche definitely has a great presence in terms of being active eith the community here and customers. I'd pick them over smart farm if the extra cost doesn't bother you. If you can't afford the noopsyche, the smart farm lights are pretty decent looking from my experience playing around with one
