I'm not sure which one I should get, I have a 15 gallon fluval flex. I want to grow a mix of softies, lps, and sps. But I would like to be able to grow most coral. Which one do you think I should get?

If you want more of a blue light, the noopsyche mini. If you want less blue, the nicrew.

Okay, I think I'm gonna go with the noopsyche, it's cheaper, and from what I've read, they are very similar except the noopsyche has an app.

Sounds good. They are extremely par intensive so make sure to rent a par meter or run the light at a low intensity (I run whites at 100% and the blue and violet channels at 25% on my 48 gallon).

Curious why you run your whites high and purples low. Seems a little backwards?

The app makes the Noopsyche mini the only light worth buying under 100$ in my opinion.
