What one would be better for what corals i want
LPS corals
Torch corals
Mushrooms

Maybe a clam heard they are very high light intensity so not sure about this

I would get the 90s , I am running 2 over a 48x24x16 and 1 over a 24x24x12 , the interesting thing is the 50 w uses 40w blue and the 10w 8k white , the 90 uses 80w blue and the same 10w 8k white , as pointed out by somebody else in a thread i read , i dont own the 50 but for the extra money and fact that I dont have to run them at full power , and can use them in a diff setup with much higher tanks someday is awesome, so far these are the best lights I have ever ran going on 30yrs Reefing now.

 

[Dave1993]

Alright i will get the 90's thanks for that

Also side note, if your tank has a rim on it like mine you cannot use the clamp on brackets most likely, they are really only for rimless tanks, the hanging setup though is really niice!!

yea its rimless
