They're still $250 cheaper than the eco radions. so he'll save some moeny. it'll be like buying 2 and getting the third free. lol

that is true. but for 600 bucks i could make a lighting system with a controler and programable settings. and that is for my 150. when i go to 300 gallions i will be going to get another 600 bucks for added lighting.

3 of these lights enough for a 300g? Acan Lighting LED Light Fixture: LED Aquarium Lighting for Advanced Hobbyists

 

[Sheriff]

also.. would 3 of these lights, more flow pristine water/conditions, be fine for acropora's?

For that much you can get better lights. Check out the kessel LEDs. I also wouldn't purchase those because they don't put out any uv light which coral do need for good coloration

+1 lil fish way better lights than those for $700.

[Waddi]

I would stick with the brands people know.
Way better safer bets out there for the same if not less.
Kessil, Radion, AI Sols.... Ect

I really like these... Ecotech Radions XR30w LED's.. would 3 be enough light for a 300?

 

[little_fish]

That depends on the dimensions of your tank, they only cover a 2x2 ft area I believe

After researching ive decieded to go with X3 kessil A350W.. They have 3 types of light.. sky blue which is 10k.. ocean blue which is 15k and deep ocean blue which is 20k.. which ones should i get?.. I was thinking 2 10k lights and 1 15k...

 

[Sheriff]

kessil a150w**** sorry or would the kessil a350w be better? tank dimensions are 72x36x27..

 

[Sheriff]

after reading up on these lights.. im going with the Kessil a350w for my 300g.. your able to adjust these lights from 10k to 20k no problem, and their designed for tanks over 24inches in height.. also the wide lense covers an area 4.8 x 6.8 ft in diameter .. Just placed the order for 3 of these babys! :). thanks little_fish for the suggestion
