Hello and thanks to all for the info and resources.
Coming back to this hobby after 15 yrs off and wow, tech does improve. Local reef store laughed at my enquiry on the antique metal halides I used to run and moon lighting is a gimmic long forgotten.

To keep costs down I picked up a used redsea 130d. Great tank to get back into this and all the advancements.
I've settled on the nicrew Gen 2 light. Can't figure out if I should go 150 or 200w. Tank will eventually house sps and lps.

I'd also like a light I can add to a larger tank down the road by adding more units.

Thanks and appreciate the input. Tank is 24x19 with a depth of 20". Rock work ends about 7"s from water surface.
 
Thanks for the guidance, 200w ordered up!
