Reef Central Online Community - View Single Post - Best LED lighting on a new 20 gallon high

Ohmsford · 12/08/2017, 08:35 AM

I am in the process of completely rebuilding my 20 gallon high (24x12x16) reef and want to change from the old 65W PC 50/50 lights to LED. I want to stock mostly LPS (mushrooms, candy cane, torch, polyps, zoos, etc.) but would be interested in some SPS in the future if the tank is performing well.

I really like the Current USA Orbit 24-36" LEDs, Marine and Pro versions, but I am on the fence to order. The Pro sells for around $200, but is there something else out there that can perform better? I prefer an on the tank mount, as I don't want to hang anything due to where the tank is, nor spend additional money on mounting brackets.
