Be more specific. What do you want out of the tank? Do you want a clam tank, a macro algae tank, an SPS setup, LPS dominant, nothing but softies? Or just a complete mixed reef? (Keep in mind SPS may suffer poor coloring and growth.)

That first link you posted was for a $900 fixture, and it was only 24" ...but, it was nice.

The marinelands are cheap ...but sometimes you get what you pay for.

If you want softies but like the shimmer of LEDs, the marineland light will be great. If you want higher light requirement clams and SPS, it might not cut it.

(Honestly I'm not sure about those marineland lights. They might be great. But marineland isn't what it used to be for customer service, and the cheap price tag has me a little suspicious.)
