What Light For 60 Cube?

[Waffen06]

Currently have a Kessil 360we tuna blue and its a nice light but want a light with more control ability. Also would like to stick to a single light. Would a AI Hydra 26 or 52 work? Tank will mainly have zoas, mushrooms and LPS. Will be selling the Kessil to hopefully cover most of the new light, thanks for any advice!

Bump, want to stay under $300 and wifi compatibility

 

[Waffen06]

Any opinions? Lol

Don’t the Kessil’s have full controllability if you get the spectral controller or wifi dongle?

I bought a kessil A360X for my 93 gallon cube. I do plan on supplementing with 4 24" T5's. But I would imagine that it would be just fine for a 60 gallon on its own. With the controller it will have all the control ability you'd need along with wifi through the dongle.

You could try kessils, or an AI Hydra 32. Another option could be T5 lights, or even one of the new Radion XR15 G5s.
It really comes down to what your own research concludes.
Good luck and God bless!

My 60 cube is lit by radion xr15 gen 4, works nicely when hard wired to router for the reef link.

It should sell for under $300 with the rms and diffuser for used one if they are available.

My 60 cube is all lps and does great with a hydra 26. Have it running at about 50%. It's a great light and the app to run it is easy to use and customize

I currently have the Kessil with the controller and just dont like the limited control ability on it. @shaggydoo thats the info I was looking for, didnt know if the 26 would have enough light for a 60. I dont want to have to buy a separate reef link or wire something else.
