Lighting suggestions 60x30x24

[tnreef]

I’m going to be setting this tank up and I’m going to council the R2R community for most of it.
The tank dimensions like I said are 60”x30”x24” acrylic tank.

I already have an aquatic life t-5 that is 60” that i can use to mount the LEDs. Although im open to any lighting setup that will be best. SPS Dominant tank. Orpek is really popular bust I know a lot of people like the Radions.

What light best works for your SPS setups and how would you configure. Thank you.

Welcome!!!

I don't recommend the Radions, generally. Not great bang for your buck. I would consider:

Kessil AP9x: beautiful shimmer, excellent controllability, top notch coral color development

Reefi: superior controllability, incredible power in a small package.

Orphek is also decent, I only use it as a supplement to my kessils though so I can't speak to standalone efficacy.

My tank has similar dimensions to yours just not quite as wide I run 4 kessil a360we's and have had good growth with sps over the year and a half the tanks been set up

Nicrew Gen 2 for the best bang for your buck. They use Radion mounting so they’ll fit the Aquaitc Life very easily.

AI Blades are fantastic as well

Used Radions can be a great deal but Mobius has always been a sore spot. I’ve heard the clock issues are resolved but don’t have one to know for sure

Thank you for all the advice. Anyone know or have used the kessil A500x and how does SPS do under them?
I’ve never heard of reefi are they a new company?
