Out of the hobby about 3 years. Just bought new tank and need some suggestions. Tank is 48x24x31 tall. Goal is to get back to mixed reef slowly but surely. There are soooooo many LED options available now. Kessils, Primes, Mars, etc. Please help! Light needs to reach bottom of tank.

Look at the tanks more than the lights and try to decide what you like that way first!! Once you have that established, then look at those tanks you really like and figure out how they did it.
