Nano Lighting Suggestions?

[Sonam]

We are cycling a 13.5 gallon fluval Evo. The stock lid and lights seem to generate a good amount of heat. The stock light also lacks programming options.

We've ordered a custom lid and are looking for ideas on an LED lighting system that will mount with a clamp above the lid, rather than one that rests on the lid.

What kinds of corals are you looking to keep? A single AI Prime HD would be perfect. Programmable via wi-fi app, able to be mounted with a mounting arm or hung.

These also look promising depending on which kinds of corals you want to grow.
I haven’t tried them myself, but figured I’d throw them out there.

I have this same tank and I just put the current orbit USA light on it. Looks fantastic and coral loved it.

Also where did you get your custom lid? I need one.

Not going for high maintenance corals. Most likely some zoas, softies and maybe an LPS or two.

Saw the AI prime. That's an investment. We have a 125 gallon system also, and do understand it is often better to spend more up front and get good equipment. So will look into this. Thanks.

I really like this WATTSHINE i have on my biocube. The fan is loud so i had to replace it with a silent fan for about 7$

I'd look into the Kessil A80, I've got one on my 8 gallon nano with a mixed reef. I've got zoas, lps, and 5 sps frags that are coloring up and growing like crazy.

16" SB reef basic would is a good cheap option with more light than you will ever need.
