10 gal nano reef 2 months in!

[Alphadave248]

Hey everybody! My local pet store “Pet kingdom” referred me to this forum! Said I could get wonderful Insight from some of the more established reefers out there. No questions currently but I am always willing to listen if you do have information. Currently 10 lbs live rock, 10lbs live sand. All readings very positive, 3 hermits and 2 damsel clowns. Currently running a 250 gal/ h power head. A DIY refugium with chaeto. And lastly 6 corals . I NEED LIGHT HELP. I want to get the kessil but I’m having a hard time finding the appropriate one . Suggestions

Welcome to R2R!

The Kessil a160 series lights are a good option. It offers some controllability in a compact design. Kessil's shimmer is unmatched by anything on the market today.
If you're not set on Kessil, I would suggest looking into the Aquaillumination Prime HD lights. The AI Prime offers much more controllability right out of the box. Create your own lighting schedule and spectrum right on your phone or laptop without the need to purchase the add on controller. What ever you decide to go with, they both grow coral really well.

Welcome to R2R!! Depended on your future plans, a Kessil A160 is perfect for a 10 gallon. However if you know you're going to upgrade and go bigger in the near future, I'd personally grab an A360 right away. Yes its be overkill for a 10 gallon, but we've got the future in mind ;) or you could do multiple A160s, you'll just need more than the A360s to get more par ;) also if you're not using a controller such as the apex or reef keeper, also pick up the spectral controller ($99) to control your lights, the controller works for both the 160 and the 360
