Recently I have purchase a 140G Oceanic.
Here are the dimension of my tank:
L 48.5 x W 24.5 x H 29

Contemplating which lights to buy or what would be appropiated for this tank. Just picking your brains to see if we have similiar thoughts.

Before you make a expert suggestion, here are three things to consider.
1) This will be an all mix reef, softies, LPS but a greater amout of SPS.
2) Do not want metal halides
3) I have a canopy.

I been looking at the PFO Solaris $2700 and the Aquactinics Constellation $840 which I had previously on a 90 Gallon. Price is important to me, I think $2700 is too much. I am open for your feedback.

Thank you

My tank is 24 wide and 30 tall. Mine is just twice as long. I would go with 2 400w se bulbs in lumenarc reflectors with the ballast that matches the bulbs you choose best.
