LED light recommendation for 50gal tank 36 inch tank

[Kimle]

Hello,

For those with rimless 3 ft tanks, what LED fixture do you recommend without killing your wallet. It seems like a lot of fixtures are design to for 2ft of tank width.

My tank is mostly LPS and softies and a few SPS.

Thanks.

I'd run the AI hydra. Should be ok for a 3ft tank. Keep ur SPS in the middle and Lps/softys to the side Later if u get more cash, u can buy another one. They're $400

what's the total dims on your tank Kim? I have a 3ft tank to and use 2 sol blues but since its only 50 gal you prob could use a larger single unit. reefbreeders photon 24 maybe?

36 x 18 x 18

Also don't want too much light outside the tank that lights up the entire living room.

Go with the hydra. Or the reef breeders

Great led vs budget led

Thoughts on the razor R420R? It looks like it has a 36inch spread.

And probably no DYI. I have no hood and I want a clean setup.

The razor R420R is what my LFS uses and the owner swears by them. He specializes in SPS and all his corals look amazing and have been growing like crazy so i trust him. If you were to get them the 16K look better than the 10K imo.
