Is AI TwentySix enough

[Kevin Kiger]

Not the best when it comes to lighting. I have a 55gallon cube. Dimensions are 24x24x19. My tank just cycled and I introduced a couple of damsels about a week ago. All seems well. I want to go with LED lighting, but I’m not sure how much. Would an AI TwentySix be enough for SPS? I truly don’t know whether I will actually have SPS, but I want to make a good decision now so down the road I don’t have to add more lighting just in case.

Do you recommend a different light?

The AI 26 would probably be okay if you placed the SPS corals towards the top of the aquascape, I wouldn't try to do an SPS only tank with corals all the way towards the bottom unless they have minimal lighting needs (deepwater acros, etc.)

Thank you for the reply. I should’ve provided more detail. I plan on 4-5 small reef fish, including a clown or two with anemone. Some LPS, Zoas, and mushrooms. SPS are a maybe.

It would be totally fine then :) you can always upgrade later as well if you find that you need more light.
