The led light market now is so varied and meets different level of consumer range. from time i started mh, t5 ...leds...hybrids...whats next..? I guess for me i went trgh the older maxspect range and found them to be good if you are on an entry level or mid. More functions more headache. Over the years of reefing...i realise i would rather have more time watching the tank then having to meddle with the setup here and there. so you got to know what are the range you fall in...look at your budget, opt for 1 more higher level then source the lights. As your tank size gets bigger...prices for equipment will increase a fair bit. Some models of lights allows you to add on modules.
