Which light would be better?

So I know both are just some Chinese black box light, but which one out of the 2 would be good for a 36x18x24.

Truth be told I am not a fan of these, mostly due to the LED placement and spectrum they use. I would get Vipar Spectra units over these ones.

Yea without a doubt those are really good from what I hear with reviews. I’m just really intrigued by the sunset sunrise feature. Have you figured out a way to replicate that with your lights?

Full disclosure, I do not have VS lights. They are very highly thought of, and proven to grow corals just like much more expensive units. In terms of sunrise/sunset feature, corals dont care about it, and will not grow any better if light fixture has it. Some folks want to have that feature because they enjoy it, but it is not needed for coral growth.

I’ve heard great things about sb reef black boxes. You might look into those as well and they are backed by a 2 year warranty

That is cheaper on Amazon. Don't use eBay it will cost more. That's a SunSun Full Spectrum. Amazon might be lower.

Dsuny I meant connecting to others you have g. I Amazon is cheaper.

Well I can get the 36” 90cm light. The first one in the post for $95. Should I go with that for the price and I could always get a second unit then. I currently run the new lightimetunnel and cannot get it connected to the WiFi at all. The light itself though is incredible for the price point as I’ve seen my lower level corals grow daily.

How, long, how deep how wide.
