Hi y’all, so Ive just ordered a 92g reef kit and am looking for great 4 feet long led lighting to grow both sps and lps. Id like something under 500$ and really dont care for wireless control. Essentially looking for color and intensity control as well as an integrated timer. I looked at Current USA orbit Marine led lighting (simple version) online but cant make out if it is adequate for both sps and lps. If it isnt I would like to know of some bang for your buck options that dont involve T5. Any suggestions? Thanks :)
 
Current USA lights are just ok for softies and some LPS but not enough for SPS. I had the 48” pro set up over a 55 gallon tank and there was not enough light for a simple Monti Digitata at 6” water depth. Seeing your not interested in T5’s and your budget your limiting yourself in my opinion of quality led lights. I would suggest looking into used Kessils, Radions, or AI Hydras. Kessil is releasing their new light next month so I’m sure there will be a good supply of LED’s going up forsale soon.

Thanks for your reply You just spared me 300$ ... googling reviews on that one led me to think it was good enough.
 
Look at ReefBreeders Photon V2 or SB Reef Lights. I don't use LED for SPS, but if I had to it would be one of these two or the Orphek Atlantic V2 (nice, but out of the price range).
