Hello what is a good or recommend upgrade from the stock light?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! I’m not sure which light is best for that tank, but it’s a popular set up so you should get some good recommendations.

I'm still using the stock light on mine for now, but I plan to upgrade to a Kessil A80. :) Welcome to R2R! Would love to see yours all set up :D

Welcome! Glad you joined. I've two and my daughter just got eShopps Deskmate AIO - so now three in our family. We're still using included light, but agree its not enough for either corals or algae/plants (she may go freshwater with hers). Down the line for us, I plan upgrade(s) to @noopsyche's Noo Psyche Pro.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
