now many people will disagree but ive been growing corals from sps, lps, and softies for over a decade. now if you have no budget I would say go buy a new $800 unit but if you on a budget for now but still want to grow and maintain an expert level of husbandry you have to work with what is out there that is affordable and I must say the $100 per unit 165watt mars aqua model which is have 3 of them over my 125gal reef tank. ive tried all forms of light from T5, metal halide, and LED. my fav feature is u can control the blues and the white,green,red, etc with an on/off switch but what I love is their dimmable and currently I have just lps and softies so it allows me to fine tune the intensity of like and for the $100 per unit its a great buy. I'm planning on starting another frag tank and any advice on if these lights will be sufficient.
