Lighting for Waterbox Reef Pro 220.6 - Pulling the trigger & need your recs!

[esther]

OK, so I think we're finally pulling the trigger on a Waterbox Reef Pro this week. They give the option of buying the tank with four AI Hydra TwentySix HD lights. The difference in price is $1,580. I have two questions for you:

1. Are those lights worth it in your opinion?
2. If not, what lights do you recommend for a tank of this size?

I want to have something that is controllable via WiFi preferably. Also, our tank will be a mixed reed tank. Fish and all types of corals. Thanks in advance for your help!

If you ask 20 different reefers you’re going to get 20 different answers. I’m a T5 with leds supplements guy. I have an ATI 8 bulb on my 180. But there are many successful tanks with AI Leds on them.

I would recommend checking out tanks local to you. Give yourself and opportunity to see different light setups in action.

I’m in Riverside and you’re welcome to stop by anytime.
