Lighting a 30L

Zoajohn · May 19, 2019

I’m upgrading into an Innovative marine 30L and wanted some help on lights. I plan on it being an SPS dominant mixed reef. I have an AI prime on the tank I’m upgrading from, would I be good with two primes for what I’m trying to keep, or would I need more light?

you should be more than good with what you have already, the AI prime should be good to grow anything especially in a 30L tank I've got a AI prime HD on my 120L and its great

To clarify it’s a 30 long, 36”. You think 2 primes will cover that footprint adequately for sps? Just want to make sure. I wonder what the par would be in the corners

30 what? I'm assuming inches, it should be good for the 30 inch side but not sure about the 36 inch side
