I have a 40L Nuvo tank. Wondering what lighting would be sufficient enough to grow a variety of corals. Currently have one single ai prime from my last tank. Wanting to eventually grow some easy acros.

So many options. What’s your budget? What kind of controllability are you looking for? Do you plan to upgrade again within a couple years where you’d want to reuse your lighting?

Would prefer to stay on the cheaper side, but I’m also willing to pay for quality. Not wanting to spend 5k. But not wanting some $200 junk black boxes. Probably will not upgrade anytime soon but always a possibility. Don’t need crazy controls.
 
Personally on a long tank I prefer a bar. the only bar I have experience with are orpheks which are excellent. I think the AI blades are also bars..... just my opinion, good luck
