LED fixture help

hey you guys, i'm currently in the market for a new light fixture, preferably a LED fixture. I have been told that i should do a RapidLED DIY kit but i am not sure how i would put a fixture together with the space that i have around my tank. while looking however i came across the Marineland Reef Capable LED Lighting System. Reef Aquarium Lighting & LED Lights: Marineland Reef Capable LED Lighting System i was wondering if anyone had experience with this.

would this alongside 2 HO T5s, be enough for my 75 gal (soon to be) reef?

im kinda new to this hobby and dont know much about the lighting, any help at all is be greatly apprecited

ideal price range = $350 to $450

 

The marineland fixtures generally won't put out enough PAR for most corals, especially at a 18" depth on a 75. I did a rapidled kit on my 55g and just fabricated my own mounts for it. It takes some planning, and other people have done a much better job than I did with their mounting, but for the price range you are asking I will have to let others chime in on premanufactured units.

 

haha thanks for the advice, i was literally seconds away from buying the marineland fixture...

if i was running 2 t5s on my 75 alongside a rapidled kit, do you think i would need the 48led kit or the 36?

 

I'd get the 48, add 10 violets and drop the T5 altogether!
