Good morning,

Recently set up a 24x24x10 frag tank, I have it right next to my display tank which I currently have 4 nicrew lights on, I need to put a light on the frag tank, my question is….. do I just add another nicrew? I can just put it in tandem with the others. Or do I spend the money and get something higher end? The nicrews look fine and grow coral in my 230 gal display tank. But I guess I’m wondering if I bought a higher quality light would I be like “ wow this is what I’m missing!” Or would I just be be like why a waste…. Love to hear what you guys would recommend for a frag tank of my size.

TIA
 
Even a lot of shops are using black box lights while selling “high end” lights. In my opinion they all are capable. A lot of it is marketing costs. With that being said the higher end lights offer better connectivity if that matters to you. But they all will grow coral.
