What lighting do you use?
 

So what lighting do you guys use on your reef? what has worked and what hasn't?
I currently use a DIY LED system that i built (36x 3W led) on my 36g tank. but im looking to upgrade to a 90g tank and just wondering what everyone here has had or not had success with.

Lot of discussion on this in other threads. But all in all its your choice. Led mh t5. All have good qualities.

What are you planning for next tank lps sps. Fish only?

I use all three types of light. T5 is nice but bulbs can be pricy. MH is great but heat is there and bulbs are pricey. Led is good but can be a little costly

Since day one I've been using a Sunlight Supply Maristar 72 inch 3X250W 4X39W T5 Metal Halide fixture with Galaxy Ballasts. Haven't had any problems.

I've changed up my bulbs quite a few times. Started with Ushio 14K, then tried Phoenix 14K then cheap eBay 15K bulbs. All worked just as well. The Phoenix bulbs were my favourite but a bit pricy. Current eBay bulbs are cheap and work just as well but don't last as long.

i im planning to have mostly SPS im thinking for the next build on a 90g to go with 72x 3w led and 2 HO T5

im still new to SPS so im taking it slow with my current tank, and im just trying to get peoples most current input on what works

I use 1 EcoTech Radion LED light for every foot of tank in my SPS dominated systems with decent results.

It took me a while to find the sweet spot for SPS coloration/growth but I am almost there.

I use a DIY led setup, it has 142 3w LEDs on a 120 gallon tank, adding some more blue, red, green, and cyan later this week!

Halides......all about the shimmer :)

6 T5 ATI bulbs, love them

I've always been one to embrace new technologies. LED for me!

Currently using a Kessil a150w over my 28g NanoCube.
