Lighting options for IM Fusion 10

[IamJoHo]

I’m setting up a Fusion 10 at work. Looking at the Kessil A80 or a AI Prime HD. I’m thinking I will be fragging some SPS out of my home tank and also may have a couple mushrooms, LPS and maybe a small nem. Would the a80 be good enough or should I bump up to a Prime?

I would probs try to avoid sps in a tank taht size simply because of alk consumption.

Anyways, I personally would do an a80. A prime would be overkill.

Prime will meet your needs well.

My most effective SPS tank was an IM10. Just keep up with the water changes and you'll have no problem keeping anything you want.

As for picking your lighting, just pick your preference (shimmer vs. controllability). I had both of these over my IM10 and each of them worked well enough.

I would imagine at work water changes would not be as easy.

Keep a 5 gal bucket or two somewhere in the building.

Which did you prefer?

I use a Noopsyche K7Pro2 on my IM10, however I have found that the Prime is probably the most popular for that tank.

I’ve had 2 or 3 Nuvo 10s and used the prime every time. It’s my go to light for most nanos

I prefer the Kessil shimmer. Every time I've had an AI prime I've ended up swapping it out for something Kessil.

I am not sure most companies say "hey you can keep you saltwater buckets over here" lol. But, if it works, it works

Guess it’s good I don’t work for “most companies”
