I have a 265g DT currently lit by 2x 32" reef breeder photon LEDs. I am about to set up a 30g 24x24x12" frag tank plumbed into the DT sump. What kind of light would you recommend for the frag tank? It will be mainly for SPS and some LPS corals.

Should i stick with LEDs and the same brand for consistency? Most frags will come from the DT to grow out some. Or is there a different route I should go? Price would be $400 tops, but preferably $2-300.

If the tanks are in a living space that gets used a lot, wouldn't you want the tanks to have a similar look (assuming no canopy)? My 2nd tank is a display refugium not a frag tank, but the idea is the same.

I've been very happy with the Orbit Marine LED. They make the pro version which would be under $300.
