Best lighting for deep coral tanks

Anyone tried the Noopsyche K7 Pro? Heard they're budget-friendly and punch deep. My tank's shallow but curious for future upgrades.

They're decent for softies but won't cut it for SPS in deep tanks. Stick with the big names if you're serious about Acros.

My Red Sea LED 90 sucks below 20 inches. Swapped to T5 hybrid and it's night and day. Just saying.

Hybrid's a solid move. I run LEDs with T5 actinics for dawn/dusk. My Zoas at the bottom glow like neon signs.

Lighting is important but don't forget flow. Weak flow plus strong light equals bleached corals.

My tank's 30 inches deep. Using two Radion XR15s and it's barely enough. Might need a third.

At that depth, you're better off with XR30s or metal halides. XR15s won't cut it past 24 inches, especially for high-light corals.
