Hi Derek! Welcome.

I don’t have any advice on lighting but I’m sure there are tons of people on here that will be able to jump in and provide some suggestions.

Hi my name is Derek. I’m new to the hobby I just brought a Red Sea reefer 250. I need help with lighting. I owned a small saltwater aquarium many years ago. So I still remember some thing retiring in august need something to do.

Welcome! Glad you joined and returned to hobby.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Welcome Derek and glad you’re here. Lights are an important early purchase, and knowing what you plan to grow in your tank in the next 18 months is important. What’s your plan?
