4 ft maxspect razor is 900$

With that price range you can easily get 2 used Radions, or like mentioned above a new Mazspect razor. I think it depends on how much light you want to put down and the unique spectrum you are looking for. Specific LED fixtures will have certain colors in their fixtures while some may have more than others its really what you think you want the spectrum to look like.

Heard great things about radion just didn't know I could get 2 for under 1000 , honestly I loved the blue from the Phoenix bulbs so closer to the 14k, pretty much what ever people get better results with , if anyone is selling used led radion feel free to msg me :)

Yup, you can easily get gen 2 Radions for around 400 bucks each, I was selling mine but I took it back since I needed it for another tank. The nice thing is since the gen 3s are coming out, die hard Ecotech fans will be selling their previous set ups and as used market quantities goes up pricing will only go down!:biggrin: The gen 2s have a nice crisp blue to it, I really like how it looks, if you have 2 it should cover most of the hard shadows generated by the fixtures.

Chat with Nick at reefsupplycanada.com I think he has some lights in the works that would fit the bill for a very good price.

I'd probably go with the aqua illumination fixtures.

2 AI's will cost more than a grand i think

Aqua Illumination
Maxspect
Kessil A350-60w
Giessman Futura (just released a new one with a lot of different LED colors)

All fit your budget! I personally wasn't impressed with AI customer service in Canada. Mainly because I had a brand new unit that did not work, and they promptly sent me a new one at the cost of about $80 for shipping/customs fees. Their warranty does not cover shipping to Canada.
