Need more info please. What are your tank dimensions and what kind of corals are you wanting to keep. Also, if you have a strict budget, about how much is it?

You can get away with a Ebay Chinese light for $100 or start with a quality light that keeps it's value but won't give you problems and if you have a issue look for the best customer service, Ecotech Marine, Coralvue, ATI are all sponsors here and have wide selection.

My tank is 72" long by 18" wide 24" deep. I'm not sure what kind of corals I want. My friend suggested "USA orbit LED" or the Pro in that same light.

I have the orbit marine reef pro.. my tank is 29 gallon with sump, have all lps corals. I love the light and it's easy to program, a tad pricey though, I paid 300 I think. I have the reef version which gives you the light spectrum, not just whites and blues
