Led lighting recommendations for a 6ft tank
I just recently set back up my 180gal mixed reef (mostly softy) tank. I'm looking at several different light options. Budget max $1300-1500 would like some recommendations.

You dont think that that would leave to many dark areas?
I would prefer not to have to add any t5s as I hate replacing the bulbs. |

Look in to Reef Breeders Photon V2+ lights, and their are other good mid range lights out there for that price range. Maybe you could buy 2 Mitra LX 7206 lights, or 4 Radion XR 15 Gen 4 Pro's, and add 1 more Mitra, or 2 more Radions down the road. If you increase you budget to say $1800, you should be able to buy 2 Orphek lights. Look around, maybe you can find some used higher end lights.

Thanks I was looking at the xr15 pros and they look really good. That might be the way to go.
