I was interested in the taotronics but was wondering if there is another type of fixture that would be better for around $350 to $400. The 2 taotronics I need for the tank will cost $350 from amazon. If you have any other suggestions for a fixture in this price rang that will work please let me know.

Dang you just missed Chris' radion. That would have been perfect and cheaper. The only led I would recommend are a little more. I use radion but razor and ai led are awesome too. Used fixtures may not be a bad option for you if price is an issue. I am not sure how big you tank is but IME radion( I use mine to cover 2.5x3') have slightly larger spread than ai(maybe 6") and the razor fixtures have the clusters every so often so you get good spread. I think tuan uses the three cluster razor fixtures. I've only seen a few china fixtures over tanks but they didn't impress me too much. Plus resale on a name brand fixture would be better I would think.

This is the LED Im planning on using for my 40g after Christmas. http://www.amazon.com/AQUAMANA-LED-55x3W-Dimmable-Aquarium-Spectrum/dp/B00FHDEAFQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385317201&sr=8-1&keywords=aquamana+led

If not the aquamana then the Taotronics AL09.

Ya but I'll need 2 of them to go on my 90 gallon. I need them to go into the canopy. Can't hang them.

I forgot about reef breeders. I looked into those awhile back because they work with the apex well from what I've read.
