Waterbox 35.2 AIO Light Option

[Pikemartin83]

I’ve narrowed it down to AI 16 or Radion 15. Leaning toward the AI because I find it hard to believe the radion is worth the extra $250. My concern is the AI is right on the verge of needed spread. The tank is roughly 23” wide. I plan on keeping only a few LPS and softies. Thoughts on which light I should go with?

Personally I would not put a AI Prime on this tank, its not strong enough. AI Prime is only 55 watts, I have a prime on my 15 gallon set at 85%. I have a 100 watt nicrew on my 32 gallon, IMO you will be much happier down the road with a 100 ish watt light. I don't know about radions so I have no comment

I had 3 ais on my water box 42 with similar dimensions. Check out the reefi uno at a similar price to the 15 with a ton more power. 90 or 120 degree optics would give you the best bet on minimizing shading from one light unit.
