Well said.What criteria are you thinking of when you say best? Most popular? Most expensive? Most economical? Most efficient? Best looking? Purely the best coral growth period the end?
There is no single fixture or technology that just does it all. Whichever route you choose there will be another choice that excels at something else

That XR15 may not give you enough lightSorry the Dimensions are 47.2 x 23.6 x 21.7... My goal is to have higher end pieces leaning towards SPS and lps I have radion XR 15 on my 75 now but I don't have that many SPS I recently watched the video from brs on lighting and they were saying the best of both worlds is the hybrid. I just wanted to see what everyones thoughts were. Ty
Hi Mikuchar, I am an Electrical Engineer I warn you early. There are No standards of comparison for lighting in the aquarium society. To me this is strange as there are IEEE standards for almost everything including lighting in refineries and petrochemical plants but nothing for aquariums. BRS investigates just finished an extensive review of LED lights. A 4 part series I suggest you start there. The Metal Halide fans are probably older like me and fondly remember them. However the energy efficiency movement is going to make those obsolete very soon. Go toward the light and concentrate on LED. If your a phone apps person only way to go. The rest is personal preference find an LFS that has several mounted to view. For me the big difference between them is the amount of shimmer (disco ball effect). I have just concluded four months of what you are asking. My coral quarantine tank will be AI 16HD my rectangular DT for now will be the Kessil AP9X. Nothing about lighting is cheap. And the only common thread I can find is like my Harley Davidson everyone has their preference.I have just recently purchased a water Box 130.4 waiting for the arrival I'm looking for suggestions on the hands down best lighting system to provide for SPS and LPS tank...Ty in advance
If you're new to the Hobby I'd have to say go with a T5 lighting option one that is plug and Play get some experience and then move on to LEDs you almost cannot go wrong with T5 they are dummy proofI have just recently purchased a water Box 130.4 waiting for the arrival I'm looking for suggestions on the hands down best lighting system to provide for SPS and LPS tank...Ty in advance
