Lighting recommendation for aJBJ 28 gal. Tank

[fish590a]

Looking for an LED recommendation for a JBJ 28gal nano cube, planning on keeping zoas some LPS and SPS. I'm considering an AI prime 16HD, Kessil A160WE Tuna Blue or even a Kessil A360WE Tuna Blue.

I would go with the prime out of those three, if you can swing it get the 32 and run it lower, if/when you upgrade you can use that light.

Have you though about a Hydra 32? It costs less than Kessil A360WE and very controllable. I love the Kessils (the blue shimmer!) but the controls aren't great.

Thank you, I would look into hydra 32.

i think if you're going SPS the Hydra 32 would be better than the AI prime (which is effectively half of the Hydra 32. I have a Hydra 52 over my Fusion 25

I'm in same boat, thinking of AI prime 16hd....want to do mix lps/nems/sps ... hydra 32 seems a tad much... would you consider the hydra 26 over the prime 16hd? I'm not familiar with older models and whether it's worth it. I know prime can grow sps and I don't plan to keep too many sps and ones I have will be easier to grow and mainly in upper column. Hopefully this helps the OP as wel
