I'm going with 2 Orphek Atlantik v3+ compact fixtures. They are LED, widely used in Europe. A lot of public aquariums use their fixtures. There are a few reefers here who highly recommend them. I thought about Kessils and Radions for a long time. Then decided on the Orpheks based on recommendations and reviews.

How expensive are they ? I was running a Coralife 24 Inch Aqualight Pro, 1x250W HQI Lamp + 2x65W CF Lamps Sq. Pin + 2x1W LED but it eats way too much power and puts out too much heat. So now I have 2 crappy LED's looking to change them out.

There are some good lower end alternatives out there. SB reeflights I've heard a lot of good things about, check out some of the site sponsors. A lot of people run Hydra 52s with awesome results. If your doing mostly lps and soft corals you don't really need a high powered, high end LED system.

I want to get in to others as well. I like the https://sbreeflights.com/sbox-reef-lights/10-sbox-extreme-32-wifi.html but I need to sell my light first. And too bad it's not a 36" light.

That light should work on your 36" tank with no problem! I think that would be a good choice for your set up. Look for reviews and create a post in the equipment and lighting forums looking for info. You will find a lot of differing opinions and some good advice out there to help you make a decision.

OMG that is nuts! I don't have the space, money, or time for that!!! That would be super cool though. It reminds me of what's his name with the 20,000 gal reef in his home.

I recently purchased a Sea-Swirl for my new 120 system. Ed was great to work with, he responded to emails quickly. When I received my 1" Sea-Swirl I read through the directions and warranty information. I noticed a small defect in the housing, and immediately emailed Ed pictures and questions. He gave me a quick response with solutions, and in a round about way said don't worry about it. He also said that he would give me a discount on anything I was to order in the future. Fast forward to today. I wasn't quite happy with the way the water was coming out of the return feed, so I emailed Ed asking about parts and prices to attach a nozzle, or y-fitting etc. He quickly responded with parts numbers to accomplish what I wanted to do. He also said he was going to be out of the office until this past Monday. I didn't respond, thinking I'd get to it this week and I wasn't overly concerned. So I get an email today from the USPS with a tracking number from Ed. I emailed him asking what was going on, and his response surprised me. He said that he hadn't heard from me and put all the parts I needed in the mail, and said not to worry about it. Needless to say I was very pleased, surprised, and beyond impressed with that level of customer service. I would highly recommend Aquarium Currents (Sea-Swirl) to anybody. Not only was Ed's customer service awesome, and way above par. His Sea-Swirls are absolutely awesome and a great way to produce varied, and sweeping currents in you tank. Huge thumbs up ED!!!!
