Lighting choice

[3l3ments]

Hello,

I have recently set up a Reef Casa 24g Width 22” x Length 20” x Height 12”. I need help choosing the best light. It will be a mixed reef with maybe only 2 SPS max if any. I was thinking a xr15 but they seem to be sold out and hard to find so I was going to go with the AI 32HD but thought I would ask here on some suggestions or ideas.

Thanks

if you like the xr15 then a reefi uno might work well for you. There are also much cheaper leds out there like nicrew or noopsyche that work well for a fraction of the cost but every light will have slightly different color and shimmer so i recommend looking around LFS to see what you like best

either way a xr15 or hydra 32hd will need to be turned down a lot as the tank is only 12" high and those can put out a lot of par

Nicrew hyperreef gen 2.

No firsthand experience but everyone loves them. Much cheaper and similar footprint to the ai 32hd
