I just ordered a Nano 24x12x12 and I was wondering what kind of lighting to go with for it. I would essentially like to keep Lps and Possibly Sps. So, if it was your tank, what lighting would you throw over it? Thanks

I would look at the AI SOL Nano LED they work great!
I would have to disagree. The Sol Nano won't be able to handle the 24" length. The JBJ Unibody comes in deferent sizes and would be a better option in my opinion. I would also look into a 24" x 4 bulb ATI.

Thanks guys.
I have looked at the AI nanos and I think they are cool although I would probably need two of them.
The JBJ is nice aswell but I dont like that its not as controllable as some of the other LED systems.
I have also been thinking about ATI T5 since it is what I have over my 200 Gallon tank and I love it!

Would you happen to know if the new wireless models have came out?

For a nano T5ho bulbs or LED. both these put out plenty of light and low heat which is especially good for a nano. You could use two maxspect units or try one of the ecoxotic fixtures. Your best option is the new Ecotech LED fixture! It would cover 24" no problem and comes with some sweet software 
expensive though.....

I'm really considering the Radion, however would it have a lot it light spill sine the tank is only 12" wide?

That just depends on how far the light is from the top of the water. You can mount the Radion close to the water to reduce the coverage or raise it to increase the coverage.
The Radion looks pretty sweet though! I was surprised how small it is but it packs a punch! I have seen first hand how well corals grow under that! The thunderstorm is cool too
