Hey guys. So I have an 80 gallon tank with just one rock right now and aragonite substrate. I'm ordering 80 more lbs of rock soon to put together my aquascape. I will be doing mainly soft corals, (hammers, torches, zoas, etc) and some clowns and a clean up crew. I was thinking about going with Kessil just based on the fact that they're pretty stellar lights. My tank is 24" deep. Does anybody have any thoughts and recommendations on lighting for half moons? Thanks!!!

Kessil ain't bad but I would try a AI Hydra 26 if you stick with that one rock.
Any pictures?
 
I had Kessils and they worked pretty well, you could also look at some of the 3rd party vendor lights on here
