40 gallon cube and 6 gallon cube

[BrandonB19]

I have a 40 gallon cube set up i want to have softies and lps in and i currently have 2 kessil a80 tuna blues over it. Im setting up a new 6 gallon cube to keep some softies and bubble tip anemones, i need some help deciding what is my best option, should i buy a new light for the 6g or transfer one of the a80’s to the small tank and get a higher power light for my cube? My budget is about 150, Any recommendations on lighting for either one? I have been looking at the pop bloom rl60 for the 6gal or if i move one of my a80’s over an rl90 for the 40gal. Just looking for advice as im pretty new to reef keeping.

Reefled 50 or 90 for the cube. For the 6 gallon a kessil A80

If the A80s are working over the 40, I wouldn't mess with anything.

For the 6 gallon, you could do a Reef Breeders Pico or a Noopsyche Mini. They're both within your budget.

I have a Reef Breeders Meridian Edge over my 8 gallon and it's good. I've got a Pico over my 6 gallon work tank (freshwater) and it grows plants good. I've got an AI Blade over my 15, but they are 12" for the small ones so it might be a little large for your tank.
