Does Amazon have anything worthwhile? I'm open to suggestions.

Currently I have 2 250watt metal halides and two T-5s. Looking to go LEDs and have some room on the Amazon account.

:wave:

I'm currently using two Hydra 52's on my 90 gallon reef, which is ample for any type of live stock.

If the Hydra 52's are beyond your budget, there are many other LED manufacturers on the Amazon website that have excellent fixtures.

I think one of the fixtures that is talked in this forum, is the Evergrow Series or Photon Series.

Thanks,
Randy

I had two Evergrow D120s over a 90 and I grew everything fine. They are around $100 each on an auction site. I am not sure about Amazon.

I just got two of the 155W "Aquamana" LEDs on Amazon.. they are hanging over my 90 and look pretty good.. much cheaper. I might end up getting one more, not sure yet since the middle is a little dark (probably due to my center overflow blocking a lot of light)

This is what is up now in the ones suggested

Hydras are out of my budget but here they are. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Hydra%2052's

What is the most bang for the buck and has a controller? Or would I be better off getting a controller separate. I am also assuming I will need two.

You can go with a pair of Kessil

I have four of the photon style fixtures and really like them a lot. It's hard to beat the output and features of the fixtures for the price. They are programmable with 24 or 48 steps in a day and have 4 presets that can be customized as well and accessed via the front panel or IR remote. I got mine on ebay but you can get them from many different places. They may not be called Photon but they are all very similar.
