Ok so I have a 75g standard. i have a bunch of different coral from deep water Japanese zoa, to some hammerhead , bunch of polys, little bit of everything . I do not have any sps , and even in future do not see myself getting into it as I already tried and fought algae . I have 6 fish , purple tang, unicorn tang, blue damsel, 6 line wrasse , and a watchman goby and a mandarin dragonite .

I'm currently using 2 par 38 goosenecks one on each side toward front of tank, with full spectrum bulbs. And a 48" h/o t5 with one white and one blue bulb.

As you can see from picture, my left and right side of tank look half decent ! But middle and back of tank are almost colourless. Been searching through forums , and doing a lot of creeping . But I think I have it down to 2 lights .

Ai hydro pro HD SERIES 52
Kessil ap700

These are over kill but I like the size , so I'm just seeing if there are any other suggests and opinions from looking at the picture , as to what light would suit the tank and give it that complete look. I'd like to spend less than 800$

You need to look into investing in some LED's I have had great success with LED strips my corals have been very productive

I love my kessils, but adding t5s to them made a huge difference
