new lights new tank

[Zxknight]

i just ordered a 200 ext from Innovative Marine. I am considering ordering 3 Neptune skys for the tank, i have a Apex controller running my tank now and thought it would be easier just to run the skys. after looking and all the led options that are available i wanted to know what other lights i should be considering. Thanks

Depends on your budget, really. But Radion G5/G6s are also one to throw in the mix.

i can do between 800 and 900 dollars, i was just at my LFS he also said that the G5/G6 would be a good choice also.

ReeFi Pro ReeFi Uno Pro 2.0. Best bang for the buck if you want PAR. Search R2R for lots of good info

I'm running redsea lights on my EXT 200 with good growth. I only have 2 160s with my old 90 and 50s. I will eventually run 3 160s and 2 90s

The neptune sky's are currently on sale so it might not be a bad choice for the price

I have ran many lights in the past. I just added one Neptune sky on my new build which is 3 x 3 by 19" high. All I can say is that I really like this light a lot. The color options are amazing. I have it set to 20K which really gives me that 20K purple look as opposed to the blueish look that most LED fixtures have. It doesn't give off too much shimmer though, so if you like shimmer this one isn't for you. I happen to not like shimmer from LED fixtures. I liked it wit MH but not with LED's.

Especially with the sale on the Neptune sky, you would be saving around 200 per light. You could also get some used Gen 4 or Gen 5 radions. Even some gen 6's if you have the money. I've also heard some great things about the reef breeder photon v2's, and the orpheck's.
