Hi

I got a IM 20g fusion nuvo... what are the best lighting options for ii? Eventually I want to do sps in the future.

I'm cautious about AI prime 16hd to handle the tasks. Also heard about the plastic/silicone burn out or melting when lighting set near max

So what other options can i choose from? I'm from Canada if that make a difference or not lol

How deep is the tank? Personally, I think AI16 is great for tanks with 12"-18" depth, but IMO its not strong enough for 24" deep tank.

Get a 200w light for SPS. Doesn’t matter which one, they will all grow SPS. I currently use Kessil ap9x.

100w lights will grow a couple of acropora at the very top of your scape.

That is my experience on an IM25.
