Nicrew or noopsyche

[bigbsreef]

Hey everyone I'm reefing on a budget. I have a 90 gallon system. Its 48 long 18 wide and 24 deep. I would love to set myself up with some nice primo lights but that's just so far out of my budget. I'm currently running 2 95watt smatfarms and honestly they aren't great. I was thinking about getting 3 lights and upgrading to 100watt nicrews or I have a nano tank with a noopsyche. Anyone have any insights?

I have no experience with any of these lights but just curious:
What is it that you don't like about the 95W SmatFarm LEDs?
*just curious what you'd expect to gain if you switched to Nicrew,,, also I think those still need a separate controller for ramping and such, right?

I have two nicrew hyperreef 150's for my 75, with a controller. I honestly can't see why I would want any "premium" light.

The smatfarms don't really have any pep to therm even full blast nothing wants to grow unless it's at the top of my tank. I am not sure about the controller
