What light to get?

[Bassmaster116]

Someone please tell me what lights i should get im so torn, i have been back and forth for a good 2 months i know how many i need for pretty much any given light. Just don’t know if i want to do orpheck, ecotech, AI, Kessil, or many of the others... Mixed reef with alot of sps...

currently have a Zetlight zp3600 pro love it but want to utilize it on my frag tank... i love the shimmer it gives.

If your going for alot of SPS then ecotech but kessil makes a killer light if you don't want to spend a fortune.

If you love shimmer definitely check out kessils. Shimmer is next to none IMO
What size tank?

 

[Bassmaster116]

From what i’ve seen and been told these zetlights atleast the zp3600 and ufo which are the same essentially are pretty much like kessils.

@Crabs McJones 75g currently for about a month or so then something maybe in the 200-300g range. depending on space that i have. the 75 will be setup on its own system for some zoas palys, euphyllia and nems. I will have a 40b tied into larger system for frags, but after my recent scare id rather not lose all my expensive fish and coral from a not so happy nem.. LOL

Pair of A360' with T5s would be boss over that 75 and was the route I was going to go with my 75 before getting the hydras

See i have two dual bulb t5’s that i was running with the zet... i just noticed the my stylos and sps seemed happier when my t5’s were off for the day so i slowly took the t5’s off line. The stylos seem to be doing a bit better with PE but i have now come to the conclusion it may be due to the fact my ALK was high along with my salinity. (i really need to pay attention a bit more) So i may run my T5’s again, but man i see all these beautiful tanks with radions and now some pretty awsome tanks with orphecks. I just dont know if ill get nearly the shimmer i do now with either of those.
