I’m setting up a new tank, 90 gallon, it’s 24” deep. My plan is to have mostly macroalgae, but I also have soft corals, rock flower anemones, and bubble tip anemones. I’m wanting to have a clam in it eventually. So I’m needing a light that can handle all these needs! I already have a kessil 160 from another tank and I like it but I don’t think it will go deep enough for this tank. I prefer leds. What are your suggestions?

Anything that can grow coral will grow macro algae. Are you planning on hanging the lights or do you prefer mounting them to the tank? And you are right about the kessil, you would need 2 a360s for that tank.

I would like to mount them!
