Lighting for a frag tank

[Danghost22]

So I’m relatively new in the saltwater hobby and I really don’t know as much as I would like to know but I would like to get into growing and fragging coral. I bought a deep blue 24x24 tank and I wanted some input In what lighting I should go with ( when I bought the tank it cane with an AI prime HD). I’ve heard that a ocean revive would be good for my tank but I don’t know if they are worth the money. I wanna try to grow a little bit of everything.

I would just get an additional AI Prime. They are great Lights and 2 would be perfect over that tank. They would allow you to grow any coral under them.

Would I be better off getting an hydra 26 and sell the ai prime

 

[lpsouth1978]

I wouldn't. The Hydra 26 will give the same PAR and light output as 2 x Primes. However, the Primes allow you to get better spread and coverage by separating the lights a bit. Keep the Prime you have and add another to the mix. It will be better than a single Hydra 26.
