Lightning question

[btouareg]

Hello Reefers,

 

Been out from the hobby for abt 9 years , even tho 9 years ago i didn't have the best tank setup since it was very difficult to get good equip back days in Kuwait.

The only main issue was the lightning tho anyway

Cant stop looking at forums/youtube the past 9 years, tried nano planted tanks i like them but cant compare to Saltwater aquariums

 

Question is:

Best lightning for mostly SPS Red sea 250 reefer ?

I saw many options around but i don't want to do same as last mistake by choosing wrong equip and re buy the right ones

 

Thanks in Advance

I use a Chinese black box myself, and have seen people use it to grow SPS just fine. 

What's your budget like?

[btouareg]

To be honest i don't have a specific budget i only want the best to keep sps

[Keepfishes]

Haha and what other bells and whistles do you need? WiFi? Programmable schedule?

Yeah I like the illumination x app which control everything, this one of the options tho but won't look nice since i have to use their mount. and can't cell mount it.

 

I'm not sure if there is a good Chinese brands here in Singapore sure u guys are expert

If you have the budget, I wouldn't suggest the Chinese black box, it's quite bulky for the amount of par.

I'm sure others will chip in but the radions look good, and has mounting arm options

How big is your tank?

I would go with the aquatic life t5 hybrid fixture. With two Radion XR15 pro's and the ATI blue plus T5 bulbs.

It seems I'm gonna follow your advice, I've read alot of articles about how good T5's good for sps growth, tbh that wasn't one of my options till you mentioned them  , thanks alot

Cool. Note there is a new Aquaticlife hybrid fixture just out. It has a slightly new design with dimmable T5. Not sure it has reached Singapore just yet. Maybe have a chat with the nice people at Freshnmarine and see if they can import it. If not the old version still rocks!

Hi Bro
Do you see many cables? Chinese box light lights with Wi-Fi (bought in US: and T5 Olimpia replace tubes by API

Yah. Yours are really a bit messy. But can built some frame to hide the cables and price is incomparable
