Fluval 13.5 lighting

[andy28115]

I have outgrown the stock lighting on my fluval. I can not decide which light I would like to replace it with however. Nor do I know how powerful do I need it to be to successfully maintain anemones and a mixed reef. The tank dimensions are 22" long x 11' wide x 15' tall. I am not a fan of ai and I cant justify 700 dollars on an orphek. I have no plans to upgrade tank size or lights in the future.

I'd stick with the stock light. As soon as you remove the lid you'll have to get an ATO to deal with the increased evaporation.

Already have an ato

Well, I'd get an XR15 then since they're on-sale and you're not a fan of AI.

Get an xr15 now before the gen 5 stock is purged and they cost $200 more. It’ll last you a long time if you don’t get a lemon and take care of it

yeah, buying a G5 radion now on sale would be a wise move.
