I need some opinions for my tank.

[Paranoiattack91]

I am looking to buy a new light for my tank. It's a 50 gallon rimless cube. I am currently using just a cheap marineland "reef capable" led. It has kept my corals alive but that's about it. Point me in the right direction for the best led for me. I kinda want to keep it under $3-$400. New or used, if you know of anyone with one for sale.
What's your opinions?

I guess no one uses lights anymore -__-

reefbreeders is what I use.

I was just looking at the photon 16 because it has the built in controller and won't break the bank. Is one 16 the right size?

what are the dimensions of your tank? I go as big as you can fit. just turn it down. you will be happy you did

 

[zigginit]

also how high do you plan to mount them? that's important

It's a 50 gallon 24in cube. I was thinking about 8 inches above the water.

I just purchased oceanrevives led setup for a $158 bucks couldn't beat it...BUT..I bought it just for pop..I run halides but its a knock off of the AI's..and I they seem to be good fixtures from reviews for actually growing corals..check them out

I would go with the 24 inch version then. I think its around 300 to 350 or so I forgot for the programmable version. you can get non-programmable for super cheap
