Can't decide lights !

[Katze]

I'm planning to get lighting for my L130cm*H50cm*W50cm tank.
LPS-Zoa-easy to mid SPS oriented tank
I can buy:

Budget: 300$/fixture with SOME exceptions

2x Radion G3-4 for 275$ without any arms so that's extra cost.
2x Maxspect Jump 248$
2x AI Prime 16HD 220$ same, no arms

What would you choose ?
I'd love to hear other choices aswell !

I don't know your location but 2x Noopsyche K7 Pro with mounting arms are just under $340 shipped, total. Use promo code R2R at checkout.

There are so many things you could do: T5's if you like a whiter spectrum (probably the cheapest and best option in terms of growth), Some noopsyche lights, amazon lights, etc. IMO Radions and AI Primes are overpriced lights. Also, the lense on the 16HD Melts

I'll take those into consideration. I decided to go LED only because of the bulb switching and long-term cost. Since if I want to sell a t5 fixture I can never get any money back from the used t5 bulbs. While I have an LED it keeps it's cost.

Your tank is basically the same as mine
Use this. Even light all the way across the tank. Modern look. Comes with the mounting kit parts for tank mount or hanging. It can grow anything. And on sale for 600 which is same as 2x300

Photon 48-V2+ (Discontinued)

The Photon series is our flagship line of lights, and the second generation of the Photons brings many of the features our customers have requested from us since the release of the widely popular Photon Series. The Photon V2+ breaks away from the ugly "Black Boxes" of the past, bringing a...

These days I keep LPS. I have a thread separately with tons of tank pics of you want to see what corals look like under it. More forum members pics here

Show us your sps tank with Reefbreeder Photon V2/V2+ light

Many have said that Reefbreeder Photon V2/V2+ light can grow sps really well. I want to know if the Photon can compete with the Radion in growing and coloring up sps. Please show us sps (or SPS dominant) tanks that use the Reefbreeder Photon V2/V2+

This is also the light used all over the battlecorals facility

I use red sea reef 90 LED on my tanks, really like them

Unfortunately they don't ship to me (Hungary) So I can't buy it but the price is very good, It'd be perfect. And I would love to have one since I know the light, but so far they were rather pricey.

I've seen those too but then I'd probably stay with Maxspect Jumps. Mostly because of their accessibility in my region.

Ahh makes sense!

Think you will struggle with just 2 light fixtures on a 130cm tank, you can always add the corals in the middle of the tank, when funds allow add another light then start adding corals at the ends.

From those listed I would go for either the radions or the AI’s…check the costs of the arms, go with the cheapest.

With the sales going on right now. I would shop new lighting system first as some have pointed out some sweet deals in your budget

Yeah, I know. But a lot of suppliers just won't ship. I'm seeking for ones that can be done, for now the ReefBreedersV2+ is the most likely of them all.
