This is the tank, its 38gal, plan on having soft corals and fish. Would obviously like it to hand from the arm. Have no clue where to start but would love some suggestions from all price ranges.

Look at the Kessil 160 they have the adjustable arm that mounts to the tank. Also look at the AI Prime HD two different style mounting devices. Start with these two and see what you think, lots of Youtube videos on them, PS I have both.

Yep. A 160 is pretty sweet.
A 360 is the step up. And over kill
The a80 is lowest powered for lowlight softies and shrooms. Personally I’d dontwo if those I’ve a single 169.

An Ai prime would be next.

A Radion XR15 would be the overkill Cadillac. Lol.

There’s a few more out there , but those are the big names.
