Help Me Pick Lighting!

[Bucrob]

I recently got a 48ft long x 24ft deep (front to back) x 21ft tall tank. Want to keep some soft corals, lps, and some beginner sps eventually. I want something that will make my corals pop and also not desaturate the fish's color. Can't really break the bank on the lights so a good in-between of budget and top tier would be nice. What should I get?

based on your wording that's close to a 18,000 gallon tank, lol, you could go with 3 noopsyche K7 pro lights as the budget side, or go with reef breeder meridians as the pricey side

I use the K7's on my 40 breeder tank, they work great the app is ok and there is an online editing app you can upload and down load to your phone app and light. They grow coral just fine

Lol meant inches not feet

radion xr30 pros sound good for you but it will be breaking the bank

If trying to save money then look int the Nicrew line (sold on Amazon). Lots in this board have had great experience with those lights.

Noops over these two tanks.

I would get a 3 48" combo of quanta bars:
2 helix meso blue
1 reefcrest daylight.
Plenty enough light and won't break the bank.
