Got my new starphire glass 50 gallon cube.
Dimensions are 24x24x20.
What led lighting should I go with?
Was wanting to do mostly zoas and palys and other softies.
Maybe a few sps but not dominant.
What led lighting fixture would be best if I didn't want to spend more than $200.
Balling on a budget so any advice would be appreciated but please don't recommend $400 light systems, I simply can't afford it.
Also I don't like the look of hanging light fixtures so anything that would sit across the top of the tank or have a goose neck would be a plus.
Looking for any and all advice, I know this question is commonly asked but I figured I'd get a updated thread going on for my specific needs.

Check out ocean revive leds they are on sale right now. Full spectrum led with timers for $147 I have a ocean revive d120 on my 50 cube and it's a good light.

Thanks for the input guys. I had a kessil on my old set up and wasn't too impressed on the coral growth.
Do you like the growth of your corals with the ocean revive d120?
Confused, do you have any experience with the reef builders set up?
Anyone else want to chime in with some pictures or personal experience?
Thanks guys.
