I’m loving my RSX 150 on my 40g but I’d recommend the RSX 200 on a 4 ft tank.

I've been using an ATI 8x54watt powermodule for over 7-1/2 years.
Great growth. I re-wired it to allow for 4 timers to control 4 X 2 bulbs, but you wouldn't need to do that. I just didn't like having 2 bulbs on, and then BAM 6 more bulb on NOW.

I love T5s for SPS growth. It also served me very well with LPS and RBTAs.

So I think I’m between photon v2 or 2 Red Sea reef led 90s or 3 hydra 26s because of the sales.

Didn't see your post before posting, and seeing someone recommend the Giesemann makes my heart happy. :) I have one over my Frag growout and a Spectra over my (48"x38"x22") display.
Wow!!! That is awesome!

MH is probably the quickest path to success with regards to lighting. Just 'cause - here's my display w the Spectra- not a smidgeon of dim area ...

Very true - funny thing is, OP will probably not even bat an eye at the "old tech". Sad because the MH is probably the quickest path to success with regards to lighting. Just 'cause - here's my display...

My new tank will have MH.
