Best LED for 45 gallon?

[phishin801]

I just bought a JBJ Rimless 45 gallon tank and am looking for suggestions on what light to get. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Kessil A360N/W, Nanobox, LED/T5 hybrid, or Radion.

Going with a Kessil 360WE on my 45RL. Love the shimmer. Ordered and should be in next week. I really dislike the gooseneck that Kessil offers (I hate exposed cables), so ordered a great setup from LeRusso Designs that is much more solid (aluminum tubing and mount) and hides the cable within the tube.

I was pretty much sold on the Kessil until I was told that you can't change the colors, but I'm not sure how much of an issue that really is. Any thoughts on the AI Sol or Hydra?

I had the maxspect razor over my jbj 45rl w/ 120* lenses. Looked excellent.

What else do you want other than a being able to choose how white or blue you want the light?

Can you explain what you mean by this? Kessil colors can certainly be changed.

I really enjoy my reef breeders photon light. Very bright and good color spectrum

Maybe OP was looking at the A150? The A160 and A360 have many levels of adjustment for color and intensity.

 

Also, OP, what is your budget? Simply asking "Whats the best light" doesn't tell us much. Budget, what kind of livestock you're planning to keep, how you prefer to mount the light, do you want the ability to control (built in/controller style/no controllability), is having a full spectrum important to you, etc...
