Hi Guys,

I'm currently looking for a LED lighting fixture for my 36" tank. I'm planning on upgrading my tank as well for a 48" wide tank (60-70 gal tank) in the future, so the fixture has to work on 48" tank as well.

I mainly have LPS and a few SPS.

For the 36'' I cannot say enough about the Maxspect Razor 27''.  Very happy with how it performs, the colours, and the settings. 

As for 48'' I am not sure what LED would be the best fit, you would likely be looking at using two fixtures/modules to ensure you have even coverage throughout the tank.  Most LED fixtures I looked at were pushing the limits at 36.''

If it was me, I would get 1 GHL Mitras LED light fixture.

The spread on them is incredible.

that's a pretty cool light, but it's a bit expensive

If you want cheep lights that work and don't care about settings and all the gadgets that may not work down the road 4 PAR 38 by bright aquatics  and there dimable .

Hookup

A set of xHO ReefBrites.  Two actinic and one 50/50.  Maybe add a fourth (50/50) later.

Radeons (pair) would be nice as another choice.

It's really hard to recommend anything unless we know how much you have to spend.
