I am setting up a 20 gallon frag tank and I'm curious about what lights would work best for me. I have been looking at the current orbit LED and the aqua illumination hydra twentysix LED. I am planning on doing the tank bare bottom with just a lot of racks. I work at a pet store so I can get these two specifically in for cheap. I am planning on keeping everything and inbetween frag wise. Which light would be better for what I am after?

Go with Al.
Current orbit is only good for freshwater or fish only tank. For example, the 18-24" model is only 18W with 82 leds. That's 0.2W per led. Most cheap reef led light output at least 2-3W per led.
