Lighting for sps tank

[Reefnjunkie]

It looks as if you have the direction you are going but one thing I had to consider on my current tank was cost, and although initially I was going MH w/T5 I went DIY LED.
After running LEDs on an SPS dominant system for nearly 2 years I loving my decision. If my tank was not 72x48x27 I may have stuck with MH/T5 combo but the cost comparison over time is a no brainier, plus my sticks are very happy.

I really believe LEDs are going to put the screws to what "once was" the standard when it comes to lighting your reef.

On a 29G I’d pick up a 120 Watt comedy led fixture and call it a day. I picked up two of them on ebay for $175 each and was very impressed with the par. You’d only need to run at 50-75 % on that sized tank. In addition they have multi white, 660,520,420 with B and RB to perfectly imitate the radion pro.

Thanks everyone for their options I will keep them in mind. I'm not going to be updating for a while just wanted to see what other options other people would do. T5 and led would really cut some of the electric bill. Some of the sponsors led units are nice I'm going to look into those and the t5.
