Kessil a80 tuna blue

Does anyone have any experience with the kessil a80 tuna blue? Thinking of getting one for my girlfriends 20 cube and was wondering what people thought of it?

What are the dimensions of the cube? An a160we would probably be better as the a80 is really only going to cover at most 14x14 inches at 4 inches off the water unless you do low light corals.

For that size, you would want the a160we which will cover up to 20x20 for a mixed reef. This link should help as it contains comparisons between their lights and recommended uses.

At one time I ran 4 a80's with two t5's over my 110-gallon reef and they did the job.

You might want to push two a80's if she's going to get into acros

Yeah,
The 160we would be a home run.
