My T5 HO light fixture decided to die last night. I'd like to take the opportunity to upgrade, at least slightly, into the low/mid LED range.
There are two options that seem decent based on my very limited knowledge that are available to me locally. My tank is just 36 gallons, and contains seahorses, cardinals, and some zoas. As far as future corals go, I probably won't branch out much beyond zoas in this tank, and anything else that does make it in will have to be seahorse-friendly. Because of this, I don't think the high-end LEDs are necessary for me.
The two that I'm looking at are the Fluval Sea LED and the eLive Led systems. Does anyone have any feedback or advice on these two? I'm providing links below to the product information, hopefully not a violation of the site since they don't lead to competitive sellers.

I already have a separate "night light" for the tank with blue leds. I don't think they support growth of any kind, but provide great light for the 16 hours a day that my main lights aren't on. That said, a fixture that allowed for automatic timing of both day and night would be a good bonus, though it doesn't seem like either of these would do that for me.
Thanks in advance!
