Reefer 250 Lighting?

[Timsz]

So ive finally made the descision to buy myself a reefer 250 but i still dont know what Lighting to buy for that nice reef.
This is my frist reef ever and i dont want to spend a lot of money on it. So far ive come across the PCC Gen2 but its ***** money. On the other side ive found the Maxsepct RSX 130W. Are there any other options which would fit a lower budget like 600€? For your information im living in europe

Look at EverGrow. The sell it in the US through Reef Breeders as a Photon V2+. But over the rest of the world they sell direct as EverGrow. It's probably the best high quality, high features, led fixture value in the market.

I have 3x Prime 16HD over my RSR250, but I started with 2x Prime HDs. Even the just the two HDs were enough for LPS.

I have 3 primes as well and they work great! If you go this route you could add more later or t5 hybrid but I am happy with 3

So i took a look on the EverGrow which looks really nice for that price point i guess. But ive read that its kinda annoying to program the light shedule.
The Primes come without fixture i guess? That would be way over my bduget then.

look for used ones on ebay, it is not going to make a difference honestly

ATI are made in Germany. Look for an appropriate sized light from them. T5 are very common in Europe. I would also recommend trying to find a EU based message board to buy used equipment easier.

Best light for budget imo
I personally don't have it as DIY lights.
But from reviews and looks, if I got a store bought light, this would be it. with 3 year warrenty and the hooks also given off for that price point..
