Can anyone tell me if this light is good enough to grow coral?? I have a 90 gallon tank

def not. for that price range, look into the ocean revive fixtures. some users are having a great experience with them. or get yourself some Kessils.

You won't regret the OR fixture. I'm getting great results with it. And it will cost roughly $300 to cover the 90. You will be able to grow anything you want. Pretty much anywhere.

The one I have is model s026. Full spectrum and manually dimmable.

That light is exactly what I'm looking for but let me ask for an extra 50.00 should I get the reef breeders photon 48 or doesn't it matter?

I would go with the Photon 48, i believe those have the built in controller. The OR fixtures do not have the built in controller and will require manual dimming and be connected to timers or a controller like an apex to have them go off/on automatically.

Both fixtures are awesome and will do an amazing job growing anything.
