I really don't see much said or written about this lighting.

I'm looking at a IM Fusion 25G Lagoon Tank and will, over time, put in some Clown Fish, Zoas, and Anemones.

For the cost, this light seems to check off all the boxes of controlling it via phone app and what it offers out of the box. At a very reasonable price. Also my LFS stocks them so I can support the local guy.

Am I missing something? I'm a newb, so any feedback would be great. TIA!
 
Personally I would suggest at least a 50 watt light, this will allow you to grow almost anything. Your corals will struggle to get enough light under 22 watts.

Some lower budget lights that have good reputations are Nicrew 50 watt and popbloom rl60 and the Jebao 60 watt, all of which I've used and can recommend. Others with good reputations are vivarspectra, smatfarm.... I know I'm missing some but if you should be able to find some threads using the search function, there are many on here, I would stay away from fluval personally, its just my opinion. You can even get a 100 watt light if you want and turn it down. I use a 100 watt light on my 32 gallon so 25 gallons isn't too far off.

I really liked the Nicrew lights, but spending $50 just for the controller really hurts. I will check out the rest. Thanks!

I thought the same so I didn't get the controller, I just pushed the buttons to set the light and got a wifi plug to turn on/off every day. It grows corals just as well lol
