    I have a Reef breeders Photon 48 over my 75 and this thing is awesome. Easy to setup and program. Plenty of power for any tank. I can't run mine over 55 % and its a good 14 inches about water line.

    48will save you in bulb cost, throw more straight light and should run cheaper. I am an hqi fan myself, great overgrowth and penetration, and with kessil starting to push 350watt in led size the power savings are not all that different anymore. If you are mot looking for sps crazy tank the fluvalleds are mot too bad at all ad will grow lps and softies like a pro. Comparable in price to a nice t5ho system.
