I'm in the process of setting up a 70l nano.
60cm wide, 39cm deep and 32cm high.

Looking at lighting options and i like the simplicity of kessils, though have not used them before.
I'm planning to stock majority soft coral and maybe one of two LPS.
I'm on a budget so i'd be looking at used.

For around the same price i can get two A80s or a single A160.
Any thoughts as to what's going to be a better fit given what i want to stock? I've a bit clueless when it comes to par etc.
Finally there's also a few A360x's available should i be springing for one of them or is that going to be overkill?

Thx!
 
Two A80s would work for the corals you have in mind and help with shadowing over a single A160.

A360Xs would be overkill for a tank that size.
 
The a80 is capable of growing LPS and SPS just fine, especially the easier SPS. I have a single one on a Deskmate that’s about half as wide but roughly the same height as your tank.
