Hello I’m a beginner at this hobby. I have a 200 gallon aquarium 72”x24”x24”. What lighting should I purchase here for this tank size? Plans on making it a mix reef tank. Your answer will be appreciated thank you

I like Ecotech Radions but there are many options depending on budget etc

And welcome to Reef2Reef!

Welcome to Reef2Reef! It all depends on what you wanna grow, and how much you wanna spend on your lighting. More details will help us narrow down what you may wanna buy.

Going Death Star big on first tank, I like. What features do you want? Timers, spectrum control, ramp up/down, moon light, shimmer, remote control, etc. if you getting a controller, do you want it to do lights also? Or use lights with a separate control. So many options. Welcome, learn, ask.

Welcome to R2R! "Jumping in" BIG … NICE! I like my Radions … pricey ... but they are very versatile which allows for a wide variety of possibilities. Please keep us posted on your progress!

Welcome to Reef2Reef and wow that a big tank. Like others have said what are you plans as far as coral? There are several lighting choices out there but hard t0 recommend lighting without knowing what you want to keep.
