Good evening all. My dilemma is lighting. I'm coming back after 10 years and was a metal halide guy for my 72g which crashed due to a chiller issue. However, afterwards, I had a 30g cube I purchased used, with LED lighting but cannot remember the name. It was a bridge type setup what sat on the tank rim.

I am purchasing a 40g IM long (see link below) and will need two LED lamps. It will be a softy, LPS and SPS mixed reef with 2 clowns and maybe a 6 line wrasse.

I know lighting is key, but I don't even know what LED lights to go with. Too many options!! I'm planning on two structures, left and right for the LPS and SPS as well as softies low on those structures. I also want to add small islands up front for Zoa's.

I'm a "buy once, cry once" type of guy. Not looking to break the bank though, however, I want what is right.

Thoughts?

Thanks all!
