Help Choosing Lighting for 60 G Cube Reef (Soft + LPS)

[brandonlock]

Hey everyone, I need help picking a light for my 60g cube reef (24×24×24). Right now I have one AI Prime 16HD, but it doesn’t seem strong enough and my corals aren’t growing as I’d like.


Tank setup:

Soft corals + some LPS
2 unknown clowns + 2 maroon clowns
1 cardinal fish

I have a 12-gallon BioCube with saltwater and live rock, and I plan to set the AI Prime back up on this tank, with the intention of adding coral in the future.

I’m considering a VIPARSPECTRA 165W LED for the 60g cube, but I’m not sure:

Will one light be enough for the tank?
Should I get two, or a different fixture?
What lights have you had the most success with on a 60g cube without spending too much?

Thanks for any advice
