What is a good choice

[cpiotraczk]

I have a 65 gallon aquarium with a few fish and live rock. It's been set up for a few months now and I am looking to start adding some corals. Right now I have the basic light that came with the tank and am looking to get into led. Anyone know of a good prices reliable light? I would like one that does day and moon light but I'm not sure if that is the way to go. Any suggestions, tips, or comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

You might want to post your budget because you might get prices that make your wallet scream lol .

Sbreeflights I have on mine $129

Knowing the budget would definitely help, but there are leds available at almost every price point today.

I'm no expert, but I find the LED market interesting and have been looking at the avialable options lately. Here's a very rough breakdown.

On a budget and don't need support: Find some LED fixtures on ebay
On a budget and want support: SBreeflights, reef radiance, or reef breeders have nice options
Want cool features without taking out a mortgage: get a couple AI Hydra26HDs or Kessil A360W's
Money no object: EcoTech Radion Pro's and never worry about it again.

I'm also really interested in the Orphek Atlantik v3+, but I've only seen it ebay for $1200

I would think $200 would be tops.

dragon99 sums it up for me lol

My experience with reef tanks is that anytime I've settled due to budget, I wish I had waited and bought the best option.

That being said, I agree with dragon99 only beginning at AI or Kessil or EcoTech

IME that converts to $400 in aquarium currency. (Jk)

Its also important to state what tyoes of corals you plan to keep. Most leds these day can easily handle lps/softies.
