I'm in the market for a great reef capable lighting system. Basically I just want you guys to tell me what to buy! I'd like some lights that will allow me to add various LPS, SPS, and softies. It's a 4ft wide 2ft tall 90 gallon tank. I don't need the best of the best, but I want something that will last and give me the lighting needs of Corals/Anemones you name it. I've been working on my tank for a year, had great success with fish, but little success with corals (mostly dragoneye polyps, frogspawn frags, and mushrooms). I still have these corals, they just have lost their color, have stunted growth.

I'd like to spend between 300-400 if possible, not much more. Advice?

I'd like to order something in the next few days if possible. Thanks!

Yes I have used them on my tanks. But your tank is 4ft long I think u need to go with Evo 200 dim.
