im trying not to have to sell my first born to facilitate lights for my saltwater tank. i was told 2 radion xr 15's will not reach the floor of the tank and 2 of the xr30 will cost me $1700. what are good alternatives? im an lps fan and may do a few sps but for the most part it will be torches,hammers,frogspan,blastos etc. if i bought a reefbreeder light can i do 1 32"or do i need to get the 48? what lights are made to reach the bottom on a 150. thank you any and all advice.
a little back round on me and tank......ive been out of the hobby for 7yrs. ive only run t-5 lights before. i just bought a whole reef tank set up. the tank has been running for 10 yrs with t-5s but the tank didnt house very many corals. i moved EVERYTHING....tank, stand, water, rock,fish, sump....everything. its up and running and all is going very well. all tests are right on the $$ and fish are happy and eating. i have an led that i picked up on craigslist but it doesnt have a brand name on it. the guy i bought it from said he broke the remote that came with it and part of the manual controls dont seem to be working so im kind of in the dark with it but it will get me bye till i can get some descent new lighting. I just cant bring myself to spending outrageous $$ for lights.
