AI nano

i have a 54 corner right now and was wondering if a single ai nano would be able to light it or even a single ai sol?

What are the dimensions? I don't think a nano would cut it but maybe the regular sol blue.

 

[ngarcia11892]

the dimensions are 27 1/2 x 27 1/2 by 23

Although I haven't seen one I highly doubt a single nano would light a tank that size. I have a 36" x 30" x 14" tank and 2 x AI Sol Blue's barely cover it effectively...

I suppose it would depend on the optics and what you're planning on keeping.

well i use a 250 watt metal halide right now with sps and clams so im guessing a single of either will cut it

Well, I know for the Sol Blue AI recommends 1 fixture for every 12" you're looking to light. It's not as easy as just saying a fixture with X watts will replace a 250w MH, you need to take into account the spread of the light and everything else that goes along with it.

You may be able to get away with 2 of the nano's spread out but I can tell you a single non-nano fixture will not cover that tank like you're expecting it to no matter how high you raise it.

ok i pretty much knew thats the answer i was gunna get but i wanted to double check

One Ecotech Radion would cover it for sure.
