I will be receiving a custom 48"x26"x22" starphire rimless aquarium in the next couple weeks. I currently have a 8x54w sunpower on order but its backordered and it got me thinking. This aquarium will be SPS dominated so help me decide... I'm open to anything except halide. Thanks

If you want leds 2-3 20 inch Razors, RB controllable fixture, or DIY are some of the best.

Sunpower without a doubt!

I own and use LEDs and not a chance I would use them over a nice big custom tank like that. Especially a full blown SPS tank.

I see a lot of people recommending LEDs they've never used or even seen in person. I've been running my Ecoxotic LEDs for 18 months and results have been alright. LPS love them but SPS are so-so. Again, I wouldn't chance LEDs when you KNOW an ATI sunpower will rock that tank.

My 40g breeder will be running an led/t5 hybrid using an ATI Sunpower. It is going to be sweet when I finish the fixture.
