Hi guys,

I do not have the budget for the Atlantiks or the compacts. Would running three OR bars (daylight and two blues) be something you would recommend? Mixed reef tank 4x2 feet foot print.
 
If you want something cheap that works well, consider getting 2 Ocean Revive lights. They run $180 a piece. The Orphek bars look nice. If you are just using it as a frag tank and not a display tank, I would consider getting 2 violets and a blue
 
I’d get 2 Noopsyche k7 - great lights and run them in my 80 deep blue high up.
