      Led suggestions

      I currently have a 30g set up and plan on upgrading to a 60g I am looking for some suggestions for led lighting that will not be too much for the 30g but enough for the 60g

      Not knowing the dimensions of the tanks makes it a bit difficult to recommend.. That said..

      I picked up one of the ReefBreeders value LED fixtures on a group buy at Reefer's Garage in vista. The lights are great. 2-cord so you can pseudo-simulate morning-day-evening. The lights are also dimable, so if you have it on the 30, you can turn them way back to prevent coral bleaching and then crank them up once you move to the 60. The price was great too ($180), especially in comparison to some of the 'big-name' Kessel, MaxSpect, Radeon, etc.

      I use 5 of the reefbreeders value LEDs that reefers garage sells and they look and work great.
      Whatever you decide on make sure they're dimmable, it makes it a lot easier to acclimate your corals to LEDs that way.

      I was looking into getting Kessil A150W Special Blend LED Aquarium Light

      Has anyone used anything like this?

      I got a full spectrum (3 diff blues, 3 diff whites, red and green) 165W chinabox LED from Ebay for $100. It's dimmable and has 2 different switches. The colors are great and I'll have it over my 25 gallon cube (turned down and raised high ). Something like that or one of the 120W might be fine for both tanks.
