Currently I'm using 4 ledzeal.com mirage x200 over my 8'x3'x2' 400gal. I'm thinking about adding a couple t5 fixtures between each light just for the supplemental fill in that t5 offers.

 

[DHill6]

1 Kessil 500x over a reefer170. Chose for the ease of use and small size. Very quiet fan, can’t hear it!

 

[SeahawkMom]

I have one fixture. It's a Steve's LED retrofit kit for my Red Sea Max 130 hood - https://www.stevesleds.com/Red-Sea-Max-130-130D-C130-LED-Upgrade--Plug-and-Play_p_304.html

1 reefbreeders photon v2 46" over my 75. Love it, would buy again.
My other light is on my refuge. Cheap home depot outside lighting bulb. Cheap but effective.

Thank you @Sleeping Giant for the QOTD idea!

One piece of equipment that 99.9% of every saltwater reef aquarium hobbyist uses is LIGHTS! It's also no secret that the majority of reefers now choose LED lighting over other types of lighting. (not saying other types are not good options) But how many lights we have and what brand we are using are left up to our specific needs and taste! So let's light it up with some comments today!

1. How many lights (fixtures) do you have over your tank and what's the dimensions of your tank?

2. Which brand(s) of lighting are you using for your reef tank?

I’m using the kessil AP700 and the Orphek OR3 blue plus fantastic coral Growth

 

[Fish man]

Tank is a standard 90g. 48x18x24 deep. Mixed reef with softies, LPS and some SPS. Lights are from "21led USA". Not a well known brand but they have performed very well giving me good growth and color, they also have great customer service. I have one that's full spectrum and one that's actinic and white.
