I just purchased the Innovative Marine EXT 100 gallon tank (attached pic and specs from their website). Which lights would you recommend for this tank? I currently have a 37 gallon tank with an AI Prime. It’s a mixed reef tank with mostly LPS and lots of Zoas rights now. The tank should arrive next month, so I’m trying to buy all of the equipment now before it arrives. Thanks for any suggestions! :)

I'd suggest a Reef Breeders Photon V2+ at either 32" or 48", although the 48" may be too big. The 32" should do the job just fine. The Photon is probably the best value in an led fixture that has multiple channels of color control as well as sunrise/sunset ability. And personally, I like my leds in a wide spread array rater than in point source pucks because the wide array has less shadowing issues.

Good luck and have fun.
