I’m having a hard time finding the Viparspectra 300w light which is what I need for my 90 gallon cube. It’s going to be a month or two before I get a light but I watch eBay, Amazon for new and used lights and Facebook marketplace in the hopes of finding a good deal on a used light. I was seeing the Viparspectra 300w reef light on both eBay and Amazon but suddenly they’re gone from both.
If I can’t get the Viparspectra are the Phlizon lights any good? Are they comparable to the Viparspectra for quality of both PAR, spectrum, and construction?
I’m seriously thinking about metal halide especially since I’d only need one and since I have a 90 gallon cube, which is about 30” x 30” x 25”, there’s no center brace to melt. Plus I love how natural it looks and the shimmer effect. Since my tank is 25 inches deep I’d likely need 400W. It’s also getting harder to find decent prices on lamps. As a result halides will be a last resort.
