The best thing to do is to check out tanks with various LED lights. It really is a matter of personal preference, just like any other light. There are lots of people who do not see or notice or mind the disco effect in the various LED lights (AI, Radions, maspect, Mitras). Just because someone doesn't like a particular light doesn't mean you won't like it. There are so many options out there. If you are on a budget I would personally do a couple of Kessil's 350Ws over that tank myself. They are inexpensive and get the job done. You don't get all the wiz bang features like programmability (dimming, colour blending, cloud cover, lightening effect, etc), but then not everyone needs or wants all of those things from their light and you don't get any of that with MH or T5s either. If you've got the money then go big or go home and get the Mitras
