Lighting Selection

[-Rich-]

I'm working on my first tank, IM AIO 25g lagoon, and I have no idea how to go about selecting the proper lighting for this aquarium. I know I want some coral but have no idea how to go about choosing the right lighting to produce healthy corals. Any help or tips?

I had one of those. The AI hydra 26 light worked great for that tank

These are some options that will work. I have the last One on a 55. It's only 60 watt each so maybe not the best for acropora unless it's up close to the light. The green hydnophora is a powerful coral keep it away from any other coral in the reef.
