I want to upgrade the lighting on this JBJ. 2 gallon tank to support SPS. Any recommendations? I can modify the small hood. It's 8" wide by 10" deep x 11" tall

I like my a80 over my 5 gallon marineland portrait tank. I just put in birds nest when I removed the Duncan to drag because it was outgrowing the tank. Been in a few days ill put a Millie in tonight to test the light some more and post the progress.

That looks nice and priced good too. Did you have to put a controller on it?

The a80 wont break 200 par even in the top in the tank. so if your looking for higher light you might want to look some more. If you can fit two it might work well.
An ai prime(hd or non hd) Kessil 360, sbreeflight sprite for nanos are other Ideas, but its all about the budget.

Lots of sps out there, so it more about par requirements per species. Acros need a higher par than most stylos, etc.
