Hi Guys,
I am just got a 180 gallon 72X24X24 tank and I am in the market for new LED lights. I have always kept freshwater tanks and this is going to be my first reef tank. I really don't want to spend more than $600 on lights. I looked into T5s and are not that practical for me since buying bulbs will be a hustle and my LFS doesn't carry them. I am planning to have some beginner corals and maybe some LPS. I know both Current and Viparspectra are not the most popular but it looks like both of those fit my budget at the moment. I might upgrade to name brands in the future, but for now, I really need help in choosing between the two.
Thank you for y our advice in advance.
