As title says, im looking for different lighting ideas LED perfered
 
You have LEDs. Are you just wondering about different LEDs?
 
If you are trying to upgrade from what you are already running. Radions or Kessils (ap700) or (360), but expensive to light your new tank though. Best sps tanks that I have seen have either been MH or Radions, but those tanks also had a bunch of other high end equipment and meticulously maintained, so not sure if the Radions were the key factor or not.
 
I have a Reefbreeeder 24 on one side and a Gen3 Xr30 Radion on the other in my 5 foot 150 display tank . Whats funny is some corals seem to prefer the Radion and others the Reefbreeder. Probably purely a placement thing due to LED lights failing to mix/spread the wavelengths as well as T5, VHO, or MH. So if you move a coral 2 inches one way or the other the light they get is quite different. Check them out tomorrow. The new G4 from Radion is supposed to be really great- but price is a real slap to the tuchus = that stings.
 
I'm looking at the revive 247 (I think that's what is called )
 
Speaking of lighting I just installed 3 250w mh 20K bulbs over my 125. in the reflectors that Dave had over the coral at his store before moving to Fiji.
 
Since you are planning on running a 76 tempurature i assume you aren't going MH. If you are , i have some MH stuff i am not using. Give ne a call.
 
I love my sb reef lights. I switched from radions [emoji23]
 
Reefbreeders photon v2 over the DT and planning on 2-3 AI Prime HDs over the frag tank.
 
I hear sb reef light suppose to be coming out with new light ( comparable to radion )
 
Reefbreeders photon v2 over the DT and planning on 2-3 AI Prime HDs over the frag tank.

I think I run my lighting way too high of intensity causing lots of brown in my sand. What does your light schedule look like on that RBPV2 (I have the same thing over my 6ft wide 125G)

I used to run it so the tank nearly glowed - it looked so good, but now I am running it with barely any because I am afraid (which seems like a waste of $ now)

Thanks!
