I'm sure this topic has come up before, so I apologize in advance for a repeat topic. I have had the Marineland Reef Capable LEDs for a couple of years and I'm not happy with them. I only have some Zoanthids and a toadstool leather in my 65g tank and I never plan to have any SPS corals. My question is, what is the best 36" LED lighting choice for the money?
 
As far as a fixture I would say the bridgelux fixtures reefbreeders is carrying they are made by evergrow in China they are full spectrum fixtures
 
I would say maxspect razor. They use Cree LEDs, you can control them to ramp up and down gradually (which I liked), the whole fixture is a heatsink and the fans only turn on when the fixture gets warm enough, and they are not much more than the comparable reefbreeders fixture. It doesn't have all types of crazy options like storms and such but IMO they aren't needed and I wouldn't use them and not having them makes the fixture more affordable which works for me.
 
I too own a maxspect razor 160w 16k version and am very
happy with it have had it for 5 months and my corals are
Happy and look amazing great product for under 500$
 
I'd say reefbreeders,iv never used themmyself but I know a few people that love them and have read many great reviews,You really can't beat there price for what you get and you will be able to keep any coral you want.if you want to spend a little more I'd go with Ai sol there awesome lights
