Well sure, great lights, but they aren't half the price of T-247's or the Photons.ATI Sunpower, the light all the others try to emulate. Half the price without the limitations.
My mom says I’m a ray of sunlight and my nana says I’m a breath of fresh air and yet my corals don’t grow and my PH is 6.0.Im looking for recommendations for lights for a 75 that wont break the bank. What lights qre you guys using

let’s break it down!
stratons: they’re so pretty. Wide . Look nice. Good luck finding them.
Orphek: see above minus the pretty.
Radion: So shiny. Like hanging circa 1995 video game consoles over your tank. They grow stuff but don’t have quite the spread of the above lights but a better spread than say a Kessil or bulb. Spread and color mix (with diffuser) is much better on the G5’s. Prepare to use one xr30 per 18x18 of square footage in your tank or the SPS authority will make you march through town in your skivvies while they scream “shade! Shade!” And ring a small bell.
Kessil: single point of light. So stylish. It’s a unique look to the inside of the tank. Grow stuff but prepare to supplement with T5 or use a lot of them…or prepare to meet the SPS authority again. Not as powerful as Radions.
Black Boxes: not UL listed. May catch on fire. May report your darkest secrets back to their red communist masters. Will probably grow coral.
T5: Lot of light. Good cost. Proven winner. No apparent government affiliation. SPS authority approved on reasonably shallow tanks.
