Hello Reef Central. I am new to Reef Central and Salt Water. I am looking into getting the IM Nevo 24 gallon with tank dimensions 36x 12.2x 13 inches. My LFS has one of these tanks and has been running the Wave Point® 36” strip light 30 watt with no other lighting, http://www.wave-point.com/Lighting_folder/LEDHOLightStrip.html. When I asked they told me they have been happy with its performance supporting lps and softies. and with a price of only $170 it sounds like a good deal.

what I am wondering is with the lfs running a strip light would other strip lights like ecoxotic led stunners or truelumens be comparable to the wavepoint by at least supporting at least lps and softies? or a diy route for similar price. Just want a light that will not break the bank and will get the job done, and $170 seems very reasonable compared to other lights. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
