I wish we could do a poll here
But the which lights would you pick for a display tank?

Heavily stocked mixed reef sps high and LPs low in the sand
Tank is a 71x28x 24 tall

- reef breeder meridian 63 bundle with the edge bars

-3 wide ati Stratton x

Both cost right at 3k

Let’s hear from the experts which would you choose and why?

Happy reefing

Absolutely the meridian with edge bars.
With a heavily stocked tank, you will need light coming from angles instead of just from above. The edge bars are intense and will do the job. They aren’t just accent lights, I’ve par tested them at full power and got 800+ at the surface. The whole system is great, I run them over multiple tanks.
 
I'm going to second the meridians!
