So me and the wife bought a Reefer 300XL to replace the 90 gal we currently have set up. The Reefer is nearing the end of the cycle and we are starting to gather all the remaining items we need to get this thing finished.
A little info into the tank we have now:
- It is a 90 gal with a mixed reef. We only have a handful of corals in this tank. Most of which are small frags that are growing out nicely ATM.
- currently has two Viparspectra 165W hanging over it.
On the Reefer, it has no light as of now. We want something slime and sleek that looks and matches the tanks sleekness.
I've looked at the following lights but have no clue what to get as there are so many options.
- Kessil AP9X
- Kessil A360X
- AI prime 16HD
- AI Hydra 32 HD
- REEFLED 90
- Radion XR15 Pro
- Radion XR30 Pro
and so many more.....
I would prefer one light fixture over two but it also depends on the spread I could get with it. I like SPS (don't want a ton though) and the wife likes mainly softies and LPS.
I also do not want a light that hangs from the ceiling so a mounting arm is a must.
For all you reefers with experience with different lights, what do you think would be my best option?
Price isn't a huge deal but if two lights are roughly the same, I might go with the cheaper option.
**Also, I'm not a super big fan of the straight blue look. I like a little white as well.
