AI prime 16HD or Hydra 32HD?

[Jim8o]

Need some advice on equipment. As the titles says, “ AI prime 16HD or Hydra 32HD”.

This will be for a 600x400mm tank.
I’ve not owned any AI products before so any advice please share.

Will the 16 have enough spread?

What types of corals are you going to be keeping? If it's softies and LPS a 16HD would work, but if you're going to get into SPS I'd recommend the 32 for better spread.

I would like to start getting more into SPS. Thank you for your advise.
Have you seen the TMC reef photon lights? Any experience?

Unfortunately no. My main experience has been with AI and Kessil

I haven’t thought about Kessil.. are they any good? Or would you suggest the hydra 32HD for better controllability etc?
