I currently have 1 AI Prime lights on my 60 cube tank it is a 24"x24"x24". I had 2 AI Primes on the tank but one started to flicker out. So I'm looking to upgrade my light. I was looking at the new AI hydra44 and 68 but with the size of the tank im not sure what to go with.

I have been looking into lighting for a future cube build and am likely leaning toward the quanta Atlas. Quanta isn’t a huge company, but the owner Luca has put a lot of time and effort developing his lights that just work. I have light bars from him and they have never skipped a beat. They are popular though so they are currently out of stock.

I had a buddy with a beautiful 60 cube that had a Hydra 26, so you could always just add another AI Prime if you wanted.
