Tank lighting

[amozmanz]

Hey guys, I’m looking at new tank lights for my new water box 60.2 (24x20x20), but am having trouble finding the right light to pick. Mostly will be growing softies and lps and maybe a couple montis. Does anyone have any good recommendations for light? Have a aiprime16hd on my other tank that I will be taking down but am not sure it will be strong enough to handle the lps and montis. I could double up two aiprime16hds but I’m not sure yet. Any advice is appreciated.

JMO but if you already will have an AI prime HD at your disposal, a second one would be more than enough in a tank that size

Personally I would put a 150w nicrew on the tank

Go on FB and im sure you can find 2 Kessil a80s, 180s, fluval reef lights, or prime HDS all between 120 and 250$ which will be plenty for what you want to grow

agreed, this would be the easiest option. If you decide you'd rather switch to a different type of fixture, we can advise on there, but 2 AI primes for montis and softies will be fine.
