Hello
I'm setting up a new tank with the dimensions of 50 by 50 by 70 tall. Do you think that one Noopshyce K7 Pro 3 would be enough for the tank or are there some other budget options better than these. My main goal is to keep softies alive for long enough before trying LPs corals and eventually anemones. Do you think these light will work for these corals in such a tall tank.
 
For a tank 6 ft. deep I would look @ Orphek. They do a lot with public aquariums.
I don't know enough on Noopshyce to offer any information.

Silly question ..did you post inches or centimeters?
70 cm is about 28" which is borderline " deep"
Considering you are looking at 1Noopsyche I will assume cm not a 4' x 4' x 6' tank.
A 20" x 20" x 28" sounds moore likely.
 
Omg yes I'm so sorry. I'm from Australia and I completely forgot about that. Yes I meant it in cm.
 
I was wondering that myself. 28" isn't mega demanding as far as lighting goes. Most of the popular fixtures should provide sufficient lighting. As for anenomes, the manufacturer says it provides this par, so I would say this light would be sufficient for just about anything in that volume.
