What light would you guys recommend for a standard 75 G, two 50 watt Nicrew hyprreef or two 100 watt hypereef led lights? 48"x18"x 21" deep. I keep fish inverts and softies.

I haven't owned either one, but I would definitely choose the 100 watt over the 50 watt fixtures.

A 50 watt light is pretty puny for a 24 x 18" area. You probably won't run both channels at 100% anyway. The 100 watt also has 2 pucks, so a better spread.

Thanks!!!
Smatfarm is the other one on Amazon to look at. It gets pretty good reviews by reefers. More channels, I think.

Noopsyche k7 would be another pair to look at. About 160+ per fixture right now.
