1 ai prime be good ? Or 1 kessil ?Beginner as in like soft corals and some lps? I'd say an kessil a80 tuna blue but also ai prime 16hd's will offer more power and you'll be able to keep better corals later on
Ai prime normal price is 250 but I've seen plenty of used ones in good condition on ebay between 150 and 175
Kessil a80 tuna blue is like 150 brand new with its mounting arm and used can be less
Ai Prime should doHey guys I’m new here. I have a 20 gallon long IM Fusion 23” wide 13” deep. What is a good light that not expensive that will work ? Thank you
A1 Prime, Maxspect razor its given me over 10 years service, and would be perfect for youHey guys I’m new here. I have a 20 gallon long IM Fusion 23” wide 13” deep. What is a good light that not expensive that will work ? Thank you
Just want something good to grow softies and lps. Been looking at the current USA ic loop pro duos too. Just want something not to expensive but also decent I been looking at the popbloom too. Also looking at the noopsyche k7 minis. Just want something app controlled. I looked at redsea reef light too. I know most lights I looked at are 40 - 100 watts.There are going to be many correct answers to your question. One way to look at it is, do you want something scalable like the AI Prime and Kessil previously mentioned or would you prefer something that is less scalable but addresses the issue for your particular tank now like the Maxspect razor.
I'm probably not explaining myself well. The Prime or Kessil solution will allow you to go with 1 of either now and add additional later if you feel the need for better coverage or higher PAR (like if you decide to keep SPS later). I'm not as familiar with the Maxspect Razor but that form factor normally lends itself to more even spread, I believe, but makes it difficult to add additional lighting later or move it to a larger tank at a future date.
Lighting is a charged topic and success can be had with many approaches. One thing I would recommend from personal experience is whichever route you decide to take for the light, borrow, rent or buy a par meter to fully map out the possible coral placement locations in your tank at different light intensities so you can have a better idea of what settings/placement is best for your corals. Here is an example of how I did it or, you could search for or request examples of other people's maps using your light on similar tanks.
Best of luck and Happy Reefing!

Softies and LPS, in general, are not going to have high lighting requirements and you will probably be good at 100 or less par. This opens up a variety of lighting choices for you and all those mentioned above will probably work.Just want something good to grow softies and lps.
