Lighting for 20g cube... suggestions

[ninersrule1]

Hi All,

So setting up my cube 20 g and most recommend the AI prime 16 HD.

Any other recommendations? Will be mainly Lps/nems with some easier sps mixed tank.

Appreciate any input esp if there are any cheaper options but I'm fine getting the AIs if they are best bang for buck.

I have a Gen 3 Radion Xr30 on my 20g aio
It lights up nicely

I have the Kessil 160 and the AI Prime, for a cube I would go with the Kessil 160, it has a wider spread, I have to have two AI Primes on my IM Lagoon 25.

I ended up picking up a hydra 26hd used for same price as Ai prime 16.

A Hydra 26D is a great light and you should not have any problems, are you going to set it up via the AB+ program. AI Prime's HD have a too narrow beam.

Not familiar with AB+ program, please explain? Tank looks like it has plenty of coverage with this light

As a hydra 52 user that's the first time I've ever seen that. Not sure about maxing out the UV though!
