*POLL* What’s the recommended lighting for SPS

[Daniel@R2R]

I have seen great SPS tanks under all kinds of lighting. I'll be using Orphek Icons on my new big reef build. I'm pretty excited about them!

why orphek

Too many variables to say. Mounting height, budget, plans to mount, etc

Radion and Mitras are great out of those. Mitras has poor software IME.

Neptune Sky is a good choice as well IMO.

Orphek, I’ll never use their stuff

Have you ever had Mitras 7206's? I find light composer extremely easy to use myself plus the lights are excellent IMO. Also one of only a few lights that have a true UV at 385nm. I am curious on what you don't like about light composer? The only issue to me is I wish you could program more than 12 time data points.

How about just plain t5s, just looking for an option

 

[Falc!]

Hybrid for the win.....if money wasnt an issue i would go with Neptune skys with reefbrite strip

I ran a 7204 for over 4 months. The light never once connected to my network no matter what I tried. The software was a total pain to use and GHL never could figure out the issue. I sold it off.

The light itself was great. Far too many good options to deal with software issues from any of them in 2022.

What species?

For SPS... A light that you like the look of and isn't too bright or too dim. Corals do not care which technology you use.
