Looking for the perfect light for a new tank that's in the cycling process. I have a 10 Gal WB running a Fluval Sea Nano with 30 corals, more than half are softies and they will slowly be moving over to the 25 when it's good and ready. (Still dreading the process) Price isn't too much of an issue, so any of y'all who own something other than AI's or Ecotech's, I'd love to hear your thoughts and/ or experiences on what might be a perfect fit.

So... I have a fluval 20W over a 13 with softies and its fine - sense you want SPS and not sure I would select this - plus, the system shuts down with a power outage and needs the app to restart it

Have a kessil over a 15 WB and love it, especially the ripples on the ceiling in the evening -

and a AI would be great fro you

However, I have a 12inch AI Blade on backorder for the 13 and that is something you ought to look into

Like to see our tank, that is an impressive coral count for a 10....

I guess I'm just looking for something that isn't so common that everyone has. Here's some pics. :)

Haha! Can't fully get a read on what that 'nice...' means. Just watched a BRS video where they looked at all the outputs and spectrums of all the popular lights, I guess I'll base my purchase off that.

What are the dimensions of the tank, what do you want to keep, what features are important to you?

I want a light that doesn't restrict me for growing anything I want. It's 20x16x16. I'll be going to RAP in April and I want the tank to be ready when I come back.
