I’m currently debating setting up my brand new clear mini 30 for a mixed reef. The foot print is 23.4x17.7x17x7” as far as lighting goes I’m thinking of using 2 a160s or an a360x but I’m asking for advice as far as better spread and results. I’m still open to other light ideas. TIA
 
You have a lot of options, ranging from an EcoTech XR15 G5 to a Hydra32 to 1-2 AI Prime 16HDs. And I'm just scratching the surface when it comes to LEDs. It all really depends on your budget.
I have an a160 on a 6 gal dialed down to 10% intensity because I planned an upgrade to a bigger tank and choose another light for my 6 then. I can’t take full advantage but even at 15% this thing can cook.
