Ok all so I have been looking at lights for my first build for over a month. Tank is 65g 36x18x24h and I have everything but lighting. I have landed that I want to try LED but there are so many arguments and debates on fixtures. I'm looking at a vertex illumina from a guy close to me for a great price and it has got my attention. Looking to keep softies and lps as this is my first tank but would like something to handle sps if I wanted to try later on.

What I'm looking for :
Coral growth and color... Lighting and clouds I don't need.

With all that being said. If you had a price tag of 600 for the tank what led fixture would you get??? I can stretch 700$ if needed

Thanks
Tim
 
I bought the reefledlights p47 fixture that I'm waiting on. I have several friends that have the diy setups with just blues and whites that grow sps like a champ. So convinced that I'm switching from my triple 400 watt radiums and t5s. Can't wait.

I have heard nice things about radions and vertex as well.
 
Whatever you do get dimmable!
 
Oh yes! I've learned dim marble is a must. Which all the fixtures in the price range I'm looking at seem to have. I've seen so many that look and sound great, just can't decide.

Anyone else? I'm open to any thoughts/ideas.

Thanks
Tim
 
Bump..

Anyone else? Looking for anymore thoughts before I order Friday. Will either be the vertex illumina or maxspect razor at the moment?

Open to other ideas in my price range to.

Thanks again
 
I just picked up a Acan 800 24" and I am in love with it. Colors are amazing!

Little out of your range but worth it IMO. I came from a maxspect razor.

Yea looked into the acan before just little out of range on what I can afford at the moment. May I ask how you liked the razor?

Btw beautiful tank.
 
Its a very nice light I highly recommend it. I just moved into a expert level light because I am going to start introducing a lot of sps.
