i give up!!! heelp!

ive been researching for the best led fixture my 300 bucks or less can buy. I have no experience with keeping corals so most likely I will be getting beginner corals I would like to have a hammer though...so my tank is a 40g breeder, I prefer not to get fixtures that I have to hang... but i am considering reef breeders photon series but don't know which size to get.

any other input or suggestions would be great. thanks

I would look up a kessel 350w or maybe 2 of the smaller pendents, Reefbreeders fixture or maybe even the RapidLed Onix, Check out the razors as well. You do get what you pay for though. Ai Sol isnt that much more then your budget.

If you are willing to go up to $400 a 27" Razor would be nice on the 40. It looks great and its easy to set up.

The 27" Razor runs typical $509 for most vendors. The smaller Razor might be a good option for around $400 but you would probably have dark corners.
