Nicrew Hyperreef Gen 2 for mixed reef

[20gallonreefer000]

I have a 20 gallon high reef with zoas, acans, duncan, candy canes and blastos in the lower portion of the tank and birdsnest, acros, hydnophora, setosa, digi and stylo in the upper portion of the tank. I keep my parameters in range, have decent flow but my corals aren't growing as fast as id like. Currently I am running 3, 10+ year old leds that are 20 watts per bar (Vertex aquaristik illumilux 300 mbi 20 watt) and I suspect that could be the problem. I am looking into getting a Nicrew Hyperreef Gen 2 and I was wondering if I should go for the 100w or 150w, peoples experience with these lights on nanos and any par levels you may have tested on your tanks. Thanks.

They are great lights I think the 100w would be plenty for that size

Do you know what type of PAR they put out? and do you think it will be okay growing and coloring up acros?

The 100 is enough but if you have the budget, the 150 gives a little more bang for the buck and you can always run it lower if needed

I have a 100 watt on my 32 gallon set at 75%. I put a seriotopora coral last month, and to my surprise I already see a little growth.

I'm sorry I don't have a controller. I just push the buttons on the light itself which adjusts by 25%, so blue is on 75% and whites on 50% (I like a whiter tank)
