Looking for Lighting Clarification Please

[dib]

So I checked out those 48" lights but I need a 30" light. These are what I found. IYO Should I go with a timer and 10,000k or no timer and 12,000k If I can keep both my current 2bulb fixture and add a new 4 bulb fixture I would have 6 bulbs...that would be a good thing right?

T5 Quad 30" Timer Aquarium Light Marine Coral Reef Cichlid LED Fan HO 96W 75 Cm | eBay
30" inch High Output T5 HO Quad Fluorescent Aquarium Lighting Fixture 24W x 4 | eBay

thanks for all your help

Another question for lights can someone help.
Is a 24w 12,000k enough for reef? I'm also seeing higher wattage bulbs that are still 12k

Those do seem like good values. What's the catch?

Sorry I missed your question.

There's no catch. OceanRevive and Reef Breeders are smaller companies that are getting well made Chinese fixtures. EverGrow has been making led fixtures for a long time. I got my lights from them before OceanRevive and Reef Breeders were even in business. EverGrow builds a quality product and has good customer support. OceanRevive is a distributor for EverGrow and has their own line of products started now. Reef Breeders has EverGrow re-brand and modify standard EverGrow fixtures to their specs. My lights have been running 24/7 for 11 months now. No issues and great coral health and growth.
