Light's for 125g fiish only tank ?

[427HISS]

We have a few reef tanks that we have spent a lot of money on.
Now we want a low cost,.... lighting system for a 125g fish only tank, that we may, add
some mushrooms and other low lighting soft corals.

Wanting lights to show the beautiful colors of the fish !
LED's are preferred, but t-5 are ok.
Would like automatic dimming, but not needed, but then would need seperate blue's and white's for timers.

Again, cost is a factor.

Please give us you recommendations, what company's, photo's and videos of your set-up's..

Thank you,
Kevin and Patty

If you can forgo the auto dimming, then the chines ebay led lights are the way to go.




separate blue and white, both dimmable, both on separate power supplies.

Here you go......I ran the TaoTronics version of this (which looks identical) for almost a year and was able to grow pretty much whatever I put in the tank.

Those would be great and even with timers but, I would need at least 3, so the cost would be apx. $370.
I don't know if I want to spend that much ?

The housing is similar to my Reef Radiance's that are on my reef tanks.

Their also just blues and whites ?

For some reason I can't get a link to work. Search eBay under aquarium led lights. About the second or third one down, 89 each. I did run two of these over my 125 fowlr for a bit and there was plenty of light. Had mine almost two years no with no issue.

I have the Reef Radiance lights on my DT as well. Yes, the Taotronics are just blue and white. I ran both colors on separate timers as well. That was one of the reasons I switched to the RR lights since those are programmable (and full spectrum).
