Looking to upgrade lighting soon and really looking into the Nicrew Lights I want the options to be able to put anything in the tank so my question is 2 50 Watt 1 100watt or 1 150watt?

Two smaller lights is better than one larger light. Id also check out the noopsyche minis. I have two of those over my 48 gallon

I've seen them what type of coral do you keep? Is this enough for any type? Are they controllable etc?

They have a surprisingly strong output. My only complaint is that they have less white light than I'd like. I keep a mix under them.
