40 Breeder Lighting

I currently have a 40 Breeder with some soft Coral but would like the option to keep anything I'm using a SB Reef light 32 inch how long do Led lights hold up? I'm currently tossing around upgrading to some Nicrew of I do would you go with the 2x 100 watt or 2x150watt plus open to other options as well but definitely want it controlled

I went with 2 of the noopsyche k7 minis on my 40 breeder after seeing @JoJosReef setup. Held off on a third light seeing as I'm just getting started.

The SB is similar to the old style reefbreeders and sb is out of business (miss them) but reefbreeders is a great company / led fixture. Natural progression of upgrade from your light is the photon 32 v2

I have 2 AI Prime 16HD’s and as of about a month ago corals are really taking off. Tanks been set up since September. I run AB+ settings from BRS. I followed their height and spacing too for mounting.

I forgot to add when I got this SB light it was a little over $700 not really wanting on pay that much again that's why I was looking at lights like the Nicrew Also like I said my SB light is still running just now sure if the LEDs get dinmer over time or how long they run before they do

I believe the lifespan is 7 years before the out put is reduced and you may need to increase the % to compensate

Anyone know what happened to SB Reef lighting? Seems they just shutdown in 2022 without any announcement
