    Hello, I have a 92gallon corner tank that is basically FOWLR but i have some mushrooms and zoanthids in the tank. I currently have a 48" T5 Nova Extreme on the tank that was on my 55gallon. It is too long for the tank so im looking for a 36" LED that will make everything pop in the tank. Any suggestions? Looking to spend less than $400. Thanks

    I have rapid LEDs for 500 with free shipping that will give you the pop your looking for PM me. The setup I have would be right up your alley being that I got it for my own 90g.

    Thanks for the replies...Im actually looking at the Maxspect Razor LED. Would the 20 inch be good enough for my 92 gallon corner or should I get the 27 inch? Let me know what you guys think about this light.. Is it overkill for my tank..I really like they way they look and around my price range.

    I was looking at the Maxspect Razor R420R 160w LED Lighting System 27 Inch or 20.5 inch. The 27 inch is about $500 and the 20.5 is $400.. I really like the look of it. Are these good lights for the price?

    I have the 20inch on my 44 corner and it works great.I am using the tank mount legs and get good coverage but I'm thinking to get good coverage on your 92 you would probably have to hang the fixture a little higher.You might be able to do this with the 20inch and have enough light,I have yet to use mine at more than 60%whites and70% blues.My tank is 21 inches deep,what are the dimensions of your 92? BTW I really like the built in timer,it gradually changes from one setting to the next and is easy to use to get a dawn to dusk effect.
