Hi, I’m looking for a light for my reef tank. I’m not really looking into SPS, really only LPS, and softies. My tanks 18inx18in and 14in tall. What would you recommend?
What Light??

I have a glass lid, should I take it off, or will all the good light stuff still get to the coral?
I like screen tops, glass usually needs more cleaning…
I’d remove it, tank might get a lil cooler besides

You can do either if you clean the glass regularly… I use mesh tops myself.
I got a minute so just typing but related to this..
but if in doubt, nothing wrong with a low-mid grade light sans disco hot spots … basically if it’s lower quality but the end result is biologically useful then I advocate cutting risk and experiment … you won’t kill your tank with a lower cost light within reason..
I usually buy quality and don’t advocate for cheap stuff but I got a Nicrew and figured if it last two years then buying 2 light over 4 years is still cheaper than a Kessil …
you got choices
