I've been thinking about switching to the LED route now for my tank. My question is which are the good brands? I have a 90 gal corner tank and the lighting I'm interested in is which will best be suitable for this type of tank and livestock?

AI Sol's and Eco-tech Radions are the most popular. Check out Modularled as building your own may be a better route for a corner tank.

I would love a radion, however a little pricey for me right now

A lot of people are buying AI Sols/Radions. I just purchased the Vertex Dolche Bianco Ilux strip (36") for my 55g and I love the thing. I guess it's what works best for your budget, and what fits your tank best.

The vertex 36" w/ mount ran me about 370-400$ after tax.

I got sum Kessil pendants 10 days ago and I have hade 2 mushrooms split into 4. They make the tank look great and I can buy them one at a time whitch is easyer for me to aford.
The Kessil lights have less options than a radion but my old lighting was on or off too so less options = less money
In time we will see if coral growth is better or what.
If you do go Kessil get the new tuna blue light it is ajustable and 90W of LED britness

Vertex Illumina, pioneers in LED lighting. Quality German made product! I have the 5' over my tank and am very happy with it. :smile:
