LED Light Selection

[ScubaGeek]

this is my first post. I'm doing a ton of research on building a 90 gallon reef aquarium I bought the tank yesterday. A local store quoted Blue Reef 120w dimmable LED lights at over $300 a piece. the price seems high and I cannot find any info on the lights. Any suggestions on a solid LED system for my build and what price range is reasonable. Thx in advance

I have a 90 gallon FOWLR system that I'm attempting to convert into a reef. Economically speaking, with LEDs, after all the research I've done everything is pointing towards either 48" Reef Breeder Photons (currently on back order but will be back in stock in the next few days) for $500 or a Reef Radiance Lumentek Pro 240 for $420. Both are fully programmable.

The issue with the Lumentek Pros is that they are "only" 36" however are meant to cover a 48" aquarium with light, my major concern is that I can't find a ton of info on them and I'm worried that the sides will be "shaded" due to the smaller length of the lights.

I can't find anything on google about that brand. Do you happen to have the name wrong?

does it have to be programmable? I bought two dimmable 120w from oceanrevive for 260.00. I just started adding softies to my 120 gal. and so far corals are doing great.

I called the store and they said it is manufactured by Blue Reef but there isn't a website for the company. I think staying away from this product is not a bad idea. Thank you

A nice option but not a requirement. Which ones did u purchase and what was the deciding reason or the purchase? Thx
