I would appreciate some opinions/reviews/personal experience on a couple LED reef lighting systems that I'm interested in. My tank is finished cycling. Putting corals in is months down the road, but I want to go ahead and get the reef lighting system. I'm not interested in DIY LED lighting, any hanging LED lighting systems, and I'm doing this on a budget so I don't need any $500 lighting system recommendations. I understand that there are limitations to LED reef lighting at the present time, and I'm only interested in growing mushrooms, soft corals, polyps, and other low lighting corals.
The two systems I keep coming back to are the FLUVAL Sea Marine LED lighting system and the Current USA Orbit Marine LED Reef lighting system. I'm more familiar with the FLUVAL brand, but a friend swears by the Current lighting.
I'm afraid to consider purchasing the Marineland Reef Capable lighting system because of poor reviews of reliability.
