advice on LEDs for 90 gallon

I'm considering putting my 48" MH setup out to pasture. I'd like to get an LED setup. However, money is an issue. Does anyone have any advice on a good, relatively inexpensive fixture where its possible to change the color intensities ?

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

What is your price point

 

$500 is about my upper limit, although I'm certainly not adverse to buying something used if someone knows of something really excellent for more than that. I'm kind of looking for a fixture that can set on top of my tank, as opposed to being suspended: landlord won't appreciate holes drilled in the ceiling....

 

Thanks.

At that price point, a black box (be it SBReef, T247s, Reefbreeders, etc.) that is 32" or dual 16" fixtures (better choice if you have a center brace) are probably the best bet in regard to bang for the buck. With that said, changing from MH to have controllability over individual colors is a mistake in my opinion. I think many people create more issues with the controllability of LEDs than not.
