AI 52 or SB Reef Lights?

[Ian Baxter]

I have a 120gal 6 ft long FOWLR tank. I’m considering adding some nems and maybe some other stuff in the future . I’ve found a pretty good deal for 2 AI 52s (non-hd) with director. Or should I go with 2 18” sBox extreme WiFi lights?

Depends on what "other stuff" is in the future. both will be fine for a nem. Softees and most LPS will be fine as well. If thinking of going SPS I'd go for the Ai's. I'm more partial to Ai's though.

I really haven’t thought too much about other stuff. At least a few nems for the clowns. I do like the AIs too.

SB for tank coverage and price. . . .. . . Ai for Par delivery, dependability and delivery of quality lighting

I used to run cheap black boxes. And they work. But this time around in the hobby I’m definitely going better equipment So I’ll stick with AIs.
