Lighting under $1000 for 72" sps tank

Noopsyche. I ran six K7 pros over my 72" 180g. I probably could have gotten by with less but my canopy only allowed me to mount them 7" off the water so I couldn't get the spread that mounting higher would allow. Those two closer together on the left were giving me 300 par on the bottom where I kept a couple of clams.
This acro grew from a small frag I glued to the back wall.
They worked well enough I moved them to my new tank when I set it up. No SPS in here yet.
This tank is 84x30x25"

Was also intrigued by these but read that lately people have been ordering them from their website and nothing ever shows up.Noopsyche. I ran six K7 pros over my 72" 180g.

@Zach B is the NA Rep. I believe he was ill not too long ago which disrupted things. Maybe reach out and see if he can offer an ETA

Do you have any space behind the tank?
I have Noops with a similar mount that doesn’t fit my rimmed tank, and wasn’t keen about clamping them to the glass so built a simple stand behind using 3/8” hobby board that the lights clamp to.

I could do something like that. How long are the arm mounts?Do you have any space behind the tank?

Was just on quanta's website and each unit was 500 dollars I couldn't find the spread on them but I'd assume I'd need 3. So thats more than I care to spend.

Each quanta atlas will cover 36” so you would only need two. It’s a 14k look and people that have it, love it. 720 leds per fixture.

That's a bummer my tank is 30" wide so it would be a little short. Even if it worked fine it honestly bug me. I'll just hang whatever I decide to get. People seem to love those noophsyche lights but there website sketches me out.
This puts it about halfway over a 75g tank. There’s about an inch of extension left available.
