Fish only LED lighting

Looking for something cheap (think ebay) that will light up a 150 gallon (6foot long) fish only tank (even if I have to buy 2 or three if they are cheap)

Any ideas?

Something that would be able to be used on a potential freshwater (fish only) tank as well

Thanks

Aquaneat led fixture will work. I've had a few on fish only setups. Work just fine. Had one power supply die within a few weeks, they sent out another no questions asked

Viparspectra fixtures get a good review even for corals.

Viparspectra or any cheap black box LED is fine for bare bones (on/off) w/ manual dimming..

These if yo want to take a chance on at least getting some automation at a low price:
https://www.amazon.com/Relassy-Contr...xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Both will be somewhat useable for fw..
Both are lensed at 90 degrees..
Relassy is about 100W each..and bb's are about 110W each in reality..
Sold under Bozily as well..
Relassy has a low lifespan..or a major typo..

Need 3 of each probably..

There are 72" Beamsworks that would workfine for SW but not spectrum adj. so their fw look is limited.

120 degree diodes so limited penetration at depth..


No experience w/ any of the above......Just an FYI
