Light help

Tbird165 · Feb 28, 2017

I just got a 75 gal tank to upgrade my 55. I'm looking for a light or lights that will grow most coral. The tank is 35.5w x 23.5d x 23.5d.

Thats pretty sweet. A lot of options out there. But it honestly all about the budget. Bells an whistles cost extra.:mad:

A 30 or 32 in Led would be easiest, or to 8in s or 12in 16s wide models. Or multiple single pucks like Kessils would work too.

That tanks easy on the eyes and easy to light imo.

I'm looking for something nice. It does not have to have a lot of bells and whistle. But I do want something that's going to make the colors of the coral stand out. I see a lot of cheap lights on eBay that all say good for coral just don't know what to look for.

Yup. Keep those measurements I mentioned in mind and take a look at what these names have to offer. Radion, Kessil, Aqua Illumination, Sbreeflights, buildmyled.com, Reefbreefers.
Google those manufacturer sites and look at prices at BRS. You can also get some of that stuff used as well. Lotta options, so it really comes down to $$ first and finding what you want in that price range.
Good time to be a reefer...
