So currently I have 2 Nicrew 50w lights and they just aren't cutting it, there is shadowing, I don't think it can grow acros and I have no idea what the actual par they put out is. So what would be a decently priced light 200 - 300 that could grow anything in a 25 gal (that isn't a black box light).

I would go with a prime 16HD. If you want acros, they can cost more than the light

If you’re serious about growing Acros, don’t skimp on the light. XR15 pro if you’re intent is full SPS or a quality T5 fixture
So with the xr 15 will 1 fixture cover the whole tank or would I need 2? Also are the older generations obsolete now or do they still work fine
