Ok, looking at lights again for my 30-38/40g build, as listed in the previous posts. Having a major hard time with lighting. So was needing advice....AGAIN 
....what wattage & PAR would I be looking at for this build? Would 2 PAR 38's work with this?
Every light I look I get told by the seller its too much wattage, or not enough PAR or not enough of both
As you know I only have softies and LPS right now but would eventually like to try SPS.
I am still going with the all in one but going to buy things separately as I think it will be better financially for me.

My friend has a 30 nuvo with this tablet. It's very nice and his corals are amazing

Radions sure are nice
Cool cool! Ok, that leads me to another question...which one
? There are several that come up.

His might be the 30 watt Actually
I see they have different wattages, it looks like the one you posted is 92w with 14,000k. That should work for SPS as well right?

I would go with the 20,000k one. That will be goo for everything

The k is really just the color it puts off, it has nothing to do with intensity. The 14k is whiter and the 20k gives a more blueish look

Par and I believe pur (I think that's it) values are the real measurement of intensity.
Ok, think I am starting to understand better. If PAR is the more important, what would I look for then with this new build?

If you go with the skkye light go with the 90watt. The 30 won't support high light stuff

tank dimensions would really help but the units bribo referred to will grow anything you want and cover 24"x24". The reefbreeders value fixture is the same thing but with a 2 year warranty from a great company

If I end up going with the 30g it is 19x19x19x19. Looking at the reef breeders now. Good price and looks nice
And actually says will support SPS.

They'll grow any photosynthetic animal you like. They just don't have the programmability of the top end lights (which is overrated IMHO) 2 dimmable channels is all you need
Awesome! Thanks Red, makes much more sense now. Programmable would be nice but not a necessity at this time.
