Lighting Recommendations for Nuvo 30L

[aiber]

Hi all!

Considering purchasing a Nuvo 30L. I am hoping that some of you can provide some recommendations. I will be stocking with SPS,LPS and fish.

Thanks in advance for your input.

A pair of Kessil A360we's over that tank would be beautiful! And you'll be able to grow any coral you want with them

Welcome to R2R I’ve got an IM 20 and love it. They fill up quick if (when) you become addicted. I wish I had gone with the 50 lagoon!

I run the Current USA loop system on my 20. One 18” and one 24” strikes connected to 3 660gph power heads.

Welcome to R2R. I second a pair of kessils.

Welcome to R2R ! !

Kessils or Hydras either would be great

I considered those too but wouldn’t the hydras and kessils be overkill? I don’t want to waste lighting the floor. The 30l is 36” x 15” x 13”.

Not overkill at all. I had a pair of A360s over my 40 breeder which was 36x18x16.

You could go with a single Hydra 52 but I am unsure if it would cover 36"

Welcome to R2R!

I had a maxspect razor 420 10k over my IM30L.

Not sure where you are, but the light and other equipment are for sale as I have upgraded

Following- I’m starting the same tank/build soon and am considering kessil 360’s or radion xr15’s. I love the shimmer of kessils, I just wish they had better mounting options.
