Looking for input on Lighting on a 160 gallon tank

[Fishon]

I am looking for what lighting options to go with. Its for a display tank, not looking for tons of growth. I would just like good coloration. Its going to be a kitchen sink tank meaning i will have all types of coral lps, sps, softies. I know i have read up and down forms with people saying its all personal preference but i would like the communities experience with different types and the outcome on how they felt. All input is appreciated greatly. the tank is a 48 x 36 x 24[FONT=Lucida Grande, Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif].

Cheers

What size tank do you have it on, and what stock do you have in the tank?

Thank you Arcsenic

Might give you some insight... I really wanted simple no maintenance led that would program easy.

If you want simple stay far away from Radions. I replaced 3 Radions with 2 Orphek Atlantiks and it took all of 15 minutes to get them programmed and the software continues to work perfectly. Super easy to change the color spectrum, intensity and schedule. They're expensive but if you consider their coverage, wifi included, advanced spectrum and great software they're definitely worth considering.

I had 3 Vega's on my last tank but switched over to the Kessil A360EW's. Like Arcsenic I'm seeing good growth from them. Very easy to control. After a year with the Vega's I could never get them programmed just right and never had any luck with SPS. I've got 4 in the new tank and they all look great. My LPS love them too. Blasto's, duncans and candy canes are always fully extended.
