Help me choose lights

[JMF2324]

So I just bought a 125 gallon Cadlights artisian and I need help choosing lights. It is a eurobraced tank and I can't hang the lights. The dimensions are 60" L x 24" W x 20" H. I was thinking one of the below light fixtures, what do you think?

I have the Razor on my 75 gallon and I am happy with it. You will want the wifi controller so you can find tune the lights.

Well I have a mixed reef , so pretty much sps and lps. My landlord won't let me hang them, he is not too happy I'm getting a 125 gallon tank in the 11th floor!!! I have a 75 gallon tank now.

The razor defenetly looks nicer but the photon seems to have better spread.

Did you get the wifi controller as well??

 

[JMF2324]

No I did not buy the wifi controller yet, I will be getting it. I'm just buying what I really need to set up the new 125 gallon tank I bought. I'm already $1,000 over my budget and I still need to buy more stuff. :(

 

[Sailingeric]

Only a $1,000 over budget.. Amateur ;)

I have the Razor on my 75 gallon and I am happy with it. You will want the wifi controller so you can find tune the lights.

Do you also have the 300 watts razor?

Do you also have the 300 watts razor?

I have the razr 420r on my 75 gallon tank. Did you get a light that covers the whole 6ft or did you have to buy multiple lights to cover the tank?
