Future Light purchase

[Desgada]

So I have been planning a new tank (180 gallons aprox.) I have almost every part of the tank figured out now except the lighting. The tank is 72l x 24h x 24d. I don't t5 or metal halide due to the heat, and this tank will be built In to a wall with a dedicated sump room a few feet away. So, I'm pretty much looking at LED.

The tank will be primarily LPS with some shrooms, Zoas, palys, a Maximus clam in the future, and probably a rock nem or two.

So all the being said what are some affordable lights that give me enough spread, par, and penetration? If possible something under $800 for the whole 72 inch tank. Programmable would be nice but I don't need anything crazy like weather patterns.

Thanks for taking the time to help out.

If you are interested in Kessil lights we have 3 slightly used ones available. A360w E. Just contact us directly. If not, we recommend picking up some used radions; our G2 radions still look great. Good luck and happy reefing!

3 360 on a 72 wont get you par for a maxima I'd bet Esp at that depth
But it is a good deal.

Look at Mara aquas or Sbreeflight if you want new. Or look the used section.

I'm with @saltyfilmfolks
3 - a360's over a 72" is not going to cut it.
