    I would look into a full spectrum fixture.;)
    Reefbreeders has some really nice fixtures at a reasonable price.

    I personally went with a Ecotech.
    Had a Gen 1 but upgraded to Pro and wouldn't change my mind.

    Yeah, for that price you'd be better off with spending a little more and going with Maybe a reefbreeders, AI Hydra, AI Vega, or Ecotech Radion.

    I am personally a fan of AI, so i would go with the Hydras.

    IMO a Maxspect Razor is probably one of the best full spectrum fixtures on the market, especially for the price, they just came out with the 4 cluster version for 48 inch long tanks!
    DIY is best, always will be if your willing to do it and spend lots of time researching what products to use and not to use.

    Just an update i decided to go with two 18" panorama Pros from ecoxotic...i really like how i can upgrade them later on if i would like with 4 more led modules each, for full spec, ect ect.

    They don't offer a good full spectrum
