I’m set to get another 44” ReefBar Pro for my 120 Gallon Aquarium. I presently have Two 44” 50/50 12 k / 445nm Blues, on a SunSetter Controllers. I‘m looking at a 44” ReefBar Pro with 28 x 445nm Blue / 7 x 465nm Blue / 7 x 423nm Blue. Trying to decide if I should get this light or stick with the 50/50.

Color preference when viewing the tank is what it comes down to.

If you have blue already, you may want to go with the 50/50 as some coral have white light requirements and most coral need whites for production of zooxanthellae for color and energy

I didn’t think this through before I posted. I’m going to temporarily put my two 50/50 36” ReefBars on the Aquarium and adjust to get an idea, what it will look like.
