My main tank has a "yesteryear" higher tier lighting setup.. its 250gallon system volume with 4x philips coralcares gen2, assisted by 2 orphek or3 blue plus.. costed me an arm and a leg..
Then against my opinion on chinese lights.. i setup a 50gallon with a single noopsyche k7 pro v3 (ab+ profile from the group here).. and to be completely honest.. ever since thats running im seriously considering ditching the coralcares.. and getting a giesemann stellar with 4 of those k7 pro's keeping the orpheks with it (2x 80w t5 + 2 orphek blue+ + 4 noopsyche k7..
The k7 visually just looks plain better giving corals that pop that im missing from the expensive coralcares.
