Hello, getting back into the hobby after 8 years and starting a 14g cube that will house nems, lps, and softies. I’m trying to decide on which light. The NICREW Hyper 30watt or 50watt. What are you’re thoughts?

Fish, softies and the odd stoney to try out of curiosity. Id think 30 was fine. I have that on a 50 gallon with clowns and nems.
Nicrew I 'Feel' are amazon rebrand and might be worth checking out somewhere like aliexpress who might show the same product cheaper under its Chinese label,,

an option., tho buying led and lowering intensities is a strange one to me, its essentially wasted money not saved money.. also the different wattages may be different lengths. Having said that, many folk may upgrade tank sizes and they can be then used on that tank. The reality is somewhat based on funds, Nicrew isn an expensive brand so I presume costs are important.
Check out the actual lumens it gives, they are not all created equally

If I’m correct PAR is more important when it comes to our reef tanks. Lumens are more of what the human eye can see and not what is needed for photosynthesis. The PAR reading is a lot more helpful. From what I understand.
