Check out ReefBreeders Photon 24 or Photon 32…..you won’t be disappointed…..and forget about the Ecotech.

I have one Eco tech running on my 35 corner reef now


How long would you be running the tank with only the one ecotech? Is is going to be fish only until you get the other light or do you plan on bringing in corals? What type of corals?

If you can be patient, just wait until you can get the other ecotech and just run one for a while. Fish don't need full coverage and if you absolutely positvely need to put corals in, just put them under the ecotech.
 
I like to keep 35 but I already have my old light b4 I switched to Eco tech so that's not a problem but for starting up I can find a cheep enough light to use for fish till I get the other Eco tech
