Seeing as I just can't afford to make another mistake with lighting, I have to bother you guys with yet another LED topic.
So my tank is a 92 gallon corner, mixed reef(will be someday, no sps as of yet). I have really narrowed it down to 2 affordable fixtures.
The first one is an made by evergrow

And then this one is I guess a taotronics brand of some sort, which SubRosa has bought and approved of :thumbsup:

They both are dimmable, 55x3 watt Bridgelux LEDS.
The main difference looks like the Evergrow fixture varies the color spectrum a little bit with the greens and reds, which I've heard is beneficial to the corals (honestly, I havn't researched into why yet). The evergrow fixture is about 30 bucks more expensive which I dont mind if the varied spectrum is actually worth it.
Also, my tank is 24 inches deep. I'm not sure what kind of lens angles I should be looking for.
On a miscellaneous note, it looks like there is an extra year of warranty on the taotronics unit which is always nice.
Help a fellow reefer out guys
