I am setting up my 500 gallon tank and looking for some better lighting. What do you all recommend for larger aquariums?

tank will be for cichlids
Depends on your budget

If you want to see light rays and scintillation that looks like real sunlight then Kessil A360XE Tuna Sun are really nice

Thanks! I’ll check them out. Any other recommendations or places to shop?
I used to buy from big Al’s but they stopped shipping to us
Other high end lights are Aquaillumination Hydra 32 and Ecotech Radion Freshwater led. I prefer the Kessil as the lighting looks very natural., like sunshine.

All are available at bulkreefsupply website

I have multiple Aquaillumination lights from Prime HD’s to their newest Blade(which is absolutely fantastic) and a few Kessils. I agree with P phreeflow nothing beats Kessil’s when it comes to that natural shimmer we see in the wild.
