I would entertain the idea of the Maxspect lights possibly too. One nice thing is that they can be aimed more easily than some of the others on your list, especially if you have two main islands.

You wont be able to get away with 2 or 3 ai over that tank because of their optics. There will be major dark spots. I would go Radions if you only want to have 2 but even then you will need a 3rd to get an even spread.

Dont cheap out either get atleast 4 AI or 2 radion and be done.

Not sure but Dave at concept had the maxspect, ai and radion over his tank in the shop might be worth checking out.

I don't know a ton about them but I find the new Reeftech LEDs quite intriguing.

Are theses lights available in Canada. Sorry don't mean to hijack. But those lights looks to be nice option to start a new build with.

I contacted reef tech and they are pricey. I am building a 72x24 x 30 tall tank. And they suggested 3 units at $1300 us each. Ouch.

Looks like my short list just got a little less short. Thanks for the info.
