Hello everyone,
I've got a 150 gallon (72x18x29) tank I'm looking to support SPS coral in. I contacted Aqau Illimunination as well as Ecotech for their reccomendations, and they indicated i should purchase either:
3 - XR30G5 Pro or Blue Radions ($839 each)
or
3 - Hydra 64HD ($639 each)
While I'm necessarily opposed to saving and spending that much on lights, I'm wondering if this is overkill. However, what I don't want to do is purchase less expensive lights now and realize I need to upgrade later.
I'm new to salt water, so if there is something else you need to know, please let me know! I have time now, because I only have live rock and crushed coral in the tank and am getting the nitrogen cycle going, so it will be weeks/months before I put any coral in there.
Thanks for reading,
Matt
