As of now no I have 2 clown fish in the tank with live rock and want to cycle my tank for another 4 months I have been cycling the tank for 2 months now and I was thinking if doing soft corals and sps

What’s your budget ?
Sps require a lot of light

Sps require a lot of light

For a nano I do not want to spend more then $200 on a light

This may suit your needs at the $200 price point - SPS corals would have to be place closer to center and towards the top of the tank to get the most PAR:

Welcome to R2R! The AI prime is a good option and you could repurpose it for a refugium or something later if you upgrade in the future!
