Ecoxotic Panorama 19w LED for BTA in 16" cube

[KindCorals]

Hey guys, Im having a hard time finding information on these lights and am wondering what you guys think. I have a couple small 16" cubes that I want to start BTAs in but am not sure if these lights will be powerful enough for them. I was hoping to use 2 x 19w per tank and have that be powerful enough for BTAs to thrive. If I need to have 3 per tank, Im getting close to the price of an AI Sol and might just have to go with something like that. Since it is a more shallow tank and I could easily build up the rocks so the BTA's would be right under the LEDs I am hoping this might do the trick.

Thanks for the help guys, this LED research is making me crazy!

I have never used the "pro" but I did run the older version of the panorama module (actually think they still sell it). You might be ok 2 of those in a smaller tank but I would go ahead and get the Sol or Sol Nano if you can swing it.

I have a LEDtric full spectrum par38 over my 12" cube with 80 degree optics and I absolutely love it!

I've heard alot about the panorama over on nano-reef and over your tank, it should do fine. But That said, I dont know how it will blend with only two strips if ones 50/50 (12k wich for leds sounds horrible btw, and royal blue) and another with the magenta. But if don't go with the magenta you'll lose alot of color and have stuff morph. Or try the 8k light and the magenta mix.
