Lighting Help

[Reefing_ Panda]

Hey guys, I'm new to saltwater and have a question about what you'd guys recommend. So I ordered NooPsyche lights and after reading some threads, I have gotten cold feet so I'm considering cancelling them. What lights would you guys recommend for a 90 gallon, I want softie corals for sure and MAYBE LPS. I was looking at AI Prime. I'm really only trying to spend $500 on the lights. MAX $600

AI primes are well regarded. each fixture will cover roughly 24x24 inches, and would be plenty for LPS and softies.

Those are the one's I ordered, 3 actually because that's what their site recommended. But the nonresponsiveness of the company is kind of bothering me. Heard great things about the lights.

They were definitely my first choice, but I was reading threads that said those ratings aren't accurate and that I would need 3 but with the crossbrace I would need 4 to evenly spread the light. Then I read that the lenses were melting on them which concerned me alot for $250 lights. So I did more research and the lights people were recommending were $500 and I'd still need minimum 3. Think they were Radion XR15

they are capable lights, but you are ordering directly from a chinese company, based in china. this will obviously lead to some customer service deficiencies, but also affordable pricing.

I guess it is a pro and con chart type of thing. I do have PLENTY time before my tank is even ready for lights.
