Slowly working on my new project tank and possibly looking to upgrade my current lights to something different.
Tank size is 60x30x24. Mix reef pretty much more SPS than LPS. I have some options and I think I will keep t5& a reef brite as my substitute lighting.
Been thinking on the following:

Neptune Sky
Reefi duo extreme
Or just go back to MH( I do love the shimmer look)

wanna hear some options
 
Lighting is a matter of opinion. This question is asked very frequently, search around
 
I run Halides with T5 actinics and getting ready to add some populargrow LED bars (whenever UPS decides to deliver it), but I’ve seen several nice LED only and I’ve even seen some tanks on here recently running Halides with Kessils ( I think?)
 
Looking for more insight in comparison with these 3. Reefi truly haven’t heard much compared to the others nor what features it offers. I look into sky since my system is pretty much powered by Neptune products maybe I should add my lights to the list.

Lights, other than T5 or MH, are usually programmable via wifi or Bluetooth.
I have an apex, but no lights connected to it.
 
The Neptune Sky the ATI Stratton, & the Phillips Coral Care are all made to imitate the look of T-5 lighting.
