Now that I think about it, if you are going to spend that kind of money I think you would be better off getting 4 of the kessil's a360x, if one light burns out you still have 3 pucks. With the larger ones you have 2 pucks in one unit and if 1 burns out now you loose 2, something to think about.
omg that is great advice!!!

Hello! My name is Christine and I’m happy to be here! :)

I recently started a 75 gallon Aqueon tank, which sits on a cinder block/2x4 stand. List of ingredients: Live rock and sand, Tunze 9012 skimmer, 3 Hygger power heads, prepared saltwater using Instant Ocean reef crystals (although I’m contemplating changing to Tropic Marin) after going through Aquatic Life rodi system, and I’m trying to decide between the Neptune Sky or Kessil ap9x lights. My goal is to have a predominant SPS tank. I do understand the odds are slim due to my basic setup, but I’m giving it a go! Dr Tim’s fishless cycle is on day 3, probably overkill since I already had live rock, so I’m creating my fish list while I wait for my tank to cycle. I can’t wait!

I look forward to learning from all the experienced reefers here on reef2reef, thanks for having me!
