Lighting question, 60 g cube, please post opinions

[-XENOMORPH-]

I have 60 g cube, corner Flo, anyways, once cycled, I'll be transferring fish, and more live rock from old tank to new tank with purchased sry rock which I'll be aquascaping, anyways, my question is this... I don't want to get into "hard" corals , but would like to be able to do simple gsp's, softies etc.. there's too many lights on the market. Hahahaha. What does a simple tank need for lighting? I think the watts are supposed to be 192, but I'm clueless here. I like that blue shimmer I see from Kessil, but they're like 300$. Anybody got some ideas for me? I'd like to try and use a light that has that single attacha let stand , (octopus arm?) Hahhahha Thanks all for ur advice/pictures.

You can sometimes find a Kessil A360WE on sale on the forum for pretty reasonably priced. Otherwise if you don't want to drop a lot of money, an AI Prime HD would be good for that tank for softies and even some LPS. Otherwise if you want to go bare bones, a single 165 watt black box light would work as well. And you would be able to venture into more advance corals down the road. Only problem is you lose some of the perks of programming, ramping, and weather effects. Hope this helps

My wife has the mini version on her 32gal cube and it has been great! The lightning effect needs work, but the rest is well made far and away higher light quality than my blackbox lights.
