I already have a Biocube 32, and a 75g reef tank with a reefbreeder photon 48. I love the RB light. I just acquired a deep blue 30 gallon frag tank. I'm trying to decide what light to go with for it. I'm thinking I'll probably go with another RB light, but I'm trying to see my options. I'd like to keep it sub $200. I plan on keeping frags of softies, LPS, and SPS, so I'm looking for the best all around. What are everyones thoughts on chinese black boxes?
 
I would look at SBreeflight over the Mars or chinese BB. You cant go wrong with a RB.
 
I use 3 of the mars aqua 165 watt full spectrum dimmable and daisy Channable but I've never had such fast coral growth and coloration, when I can I turn the day setting all the way down and then the next morning when the whites turn back on I'll go down and slowly ramp them up and for $100 a unit that's such a good deal. Or if u have some more money mars makes new ones most are for plant growth but they have hd-led tech and their wireless.
 
Also mars just came out with the euphotica model which is their version of a wireless programmable u it with different settings and the one was under $300. I have their $100 mars aqua 165 watts and I LOVE them so do my sps but when I upgrade I'm getting those new mars euphotica it goes to 20,000k have uv and violet.
