Hi all!
I’m starting an Innovative Marine 14 peninsula and I heard that Kessil were the best at showing off zoas and shrooms, so that’s the light I’d like to get. When I’m ready to add corals, I plan on having zoas, discosoma shrooms, ricordea, and maybe a neon toadstool or other pretty softie. The aquarium is 20x12x13, with the first 3.25 of the 20 length being the aio/pump area:
The small rock on the left will be a lil ricordea island, the rubble and lower parts of the rock to the right will be discosoma, and mid-high will be zoas. I’ll put the toadstool on the sand bed wherever I can find room. It will probably be the most light demanding coral I have.
I’m trying to choose between the a80 and a160, have done a lot of searching and seeing a lot of conflicting info. My concern with the a80 is coverage and whether the mini gooseneck is long enough to get to the center of the display without being practically on the water. The alternative is an a160 with a mounting arm. My only concern with it is whether it would be overkill and give me tons of light spill out of the tank. Kind of wishing I had just gotten the 10g/a80, but I wanted the extra room for coral.
I’d love to get some opinions from the Kessil gurus here. Thanks!
