I have a 60 hallon cube which is 24" deep. I wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions on led lights for my tank. I was looking into doing the reef brites one 50/50, one white and one blue.

I have a 60 cube and I've used multiple fixtures:

Taotronics (chinese): liked it with the blues but not with blues and whites on, it looked too washed out.

StarkLED Blunova: Looks amazing, tons of features but expensive.

Kessil a350w: By far my favorite (and currently in use). This thing is amazing.

Look into the GHL Mitras. It's not the cheapest fixture but it packs a load of features and performance to boot. Add in it has great coverage and deep water penetration and you'll start to see why it's getting some great reviews.

i have two AI Sol Blues on my 60 gallon cube and feel they match the full illumination my 400w halide provided.

I ran a radion with t5 and it was great but now run a 250 watt halide with t5 and its even better.

On mine I currently run a Gen 1 Radion. Does the job minus a few software issues here and there.

I also have a Kessil A350 set up but not in use.

Only place I can't have acro's (using only the Radion) are in the corners of the aquarium on the sand bed.

I had the Kessil and Radion running for a while, however that was waaaay to much light for my ric's / shrooms / chalice. They all burned fairly quickly when I had the Kessil up for a few weeks.
