I was sold these lights by my LFS as they were ex display.https://www.tropicalmarinecentre.com/en/tmc/aquarium/lighting/light-units/reef-pulsar-sps-8 I’ve had them on default settings for the last three months as I don’t know what schedule to put them on or what spectrum to use. So the lights are predominately white until the evening.
I’ve also got a couple of LPS in the tank now and I don’t know if they will thrive given it’s an SPS light?.

Any suggestions for a lights? Budget is around £300. Tank dimensions are 90x42x40 cm and 135 litres. Only got some softies, a BTA and two LPS.

I got a 3ft long (90cm) marine light if you want to buy it for way less than £300. I’ve got the same light running on my 250L tank. Works really well.

Possibly. What light is it? Where are you based?

It’s a Sanrise light. I really don’t know much about it . UK, Hull. (In photos atm blues 100% red and green 30% whites 30% power)
