lighting my jbj 45g

[Max The New reefer]

hello folks, I got a jbj 45 rimless for 45 dollars, and need a light, I have a marineland led advanced led light, tbh its crud, I need a upgrade, I'm thinking about 2 ai prime 16hds or one ai hydra 52 I wanna do a lps and softys tank, with maybe one or 2 sps, what should I do, I want it to be customizable, and under 500 dollars, because I want money to spend on fish and corals suggestions and thoughts?

Go with 2 AI Primes. Additional ones can be added later.

AI 16 HD. Then you could add another later, or one AI 32 HD that is what I have on my JBJ 65 rimless

the 32 is cheaper in total, dont you have alot of shadowing, and not enough spread?
