Lights

[Javen]

I need help about lighting. I am using fluorescent lights right now with my 6 ft. Long 125 gal. But I think I need to upgrade to LED any advice on that

That depends on what you want to put under the lights. Photosynthetic coral can need lighting from a wide scale and can require very intense lighting.

What type do you recommend

What's your budget and are you going SW or FW? Is this for fish-only or do you intend to grow something under them (i.e. corals or plants)?

It's saltwater. Don't have a budget just what I can get my hands on (I'm 14). It's for fish and everything (125 gal. Tank)

I really like the ones you just pointed out do they do good all by their selves

Matters what type of coral your looking at, I'm going with 2 of these over my 55 when I upgrade my 10g because I want to keep the high light demanding things such as a clam I know reefing madness also uses 2 in there 8 ft tank an can grow quite a variety of coral. You could always start out on one an as te and matures an gets ready for coral, add to it more fixtures
