Hi all,

I’ve got an old 36 gallon bow front aquarium that I would like to convert to a reef tank with softies and LPS corals. I’ve been shopping around for affordable lights and unsure which to get that will provide adequate PAR levels for LPS corals. Right now the top contender is the Blade Smart Coral Grow LED strip but I was wondering if anyone else has better suggestions.

Thanks for the help!

Reefi lab 2.0. Hands down best high end light there is at half the cost of Radion, Kessel, Neptune sky, Orphek, etc. To compare, radion xr30 g4 (the highest output radion) is 210 watt. Reefi is 277watt. PAR MONSTER LIGHTS! I run 4 on an 8foot 300g tank. Just added the 4th. Ran 3 on softy dominate with amazing growth for 3 months till I could add the 4th.
