I I opted for the 72" 10k 9500 lumans light from BeamsWork for my 210 gallon. I had 2 Marineland single bright 36" which IMO didn't give off enough light for a large deep tank.

I went with the 10K as a shot in the dark and based on reviews vs 6500. I like bright lights and wasn't sure if the 6500 would suit my needs.

I am very happy with this light. Bright, Sturdy and looks like it is good quality. The light does have a slight blue tint to it but looks great IMO..... was 129.99 (free shipping) from Amazon.

Attached are pictures of the Marinlends (1st 2 pictures) and BeamsWork (last 2 pictures). I still have to add all the plants so the light should tone down a bit..


Packaging was TOP NOTCH, infact, I spent about 10 minutes unboxing it!! The seller boxed it 2 times not including the original box the light came in. This box could have been run over and still not damage the light (shipping is something everyone worries about when shipping something as large and delicate)..

In all honesty, I do like the color of the Marinlands better, but I definitely like the brightness of the Beamswork lights. Thanks a lot for posting those pictures!

I think I might try two or three of the 72" Beamswork lights at 6500K for my 220 so that I can have a good heat temperature for plants.

Does anyone know about how much wattage you save with these LED's vs. fluorescent bulbs, or do you save anything? My current lights are two of the O'Dell 72" fixtures that each hold two 36" tubes. Not sure of the tube size but I think it matches a standard shop bulb size. Seeing as how O'Dell has been closed for so long, I'm pretty sure these fixtures are pretty old school.

I would start with 1 72' light. I think you'll find even the 6500 to be very bright on a 210/220

Again start with one. They are bright lights. I am a personal fan of the 165 watt mr120 led lights as well
 
Here are a couple pics of plants in the tank. VERY impressed with this light so far.

72' Beamswork 10K 9500 lumans 129.99 (free shipping) from Amazon.
