Light suggestion

I’m starting a new frag tank, it is a 28g shallow rimless with a 23g sump and I have a 12” AI coral grow but wasn’t sure if this will be enough after buying it and looking at it. What are your thoughts and recommendations?

Depends on the tanks LxWxH and what you want to grow. Reef dudes has a par estimator you can use for the ai blade to see if you get the coverage/par you need for your desired coral type.

XR15 G6 is another option!

I just googled this and it is a 20 watt light? If so then unfortunately it won't work. To give you an idea, I have a 90 watt popbloom on my 32, previously was a 100 watt nicrew that recently burnt out, but basically you want something closer to 100 watts for that tank.

I did research after what you posted For the poster who doesn't mention diminutions pretty hard to advise . I bought a grow and a grow to put between my 2 AI primes to fill a void . Unfortunately I did not research well and Bought 12 inch models . Maybe according to what I know from AI as in Artificial " intelligence " the combo boosts the par for a frag tank quite a bit and may be enough . Too many variables . For me I am hoping that they will serve my purpose but now not very positive since you correctly pointed that out . My tank 4 foot by 20 front to back and top to bottom 24
