Lighting Selection

[-Rich-]

I'm working on my first tank, IM AIO 25g lagoon, and I have no idea how to go about selecting the proper lighting for this aquarium. I know I want some coral but have no idea how to go about choosing the right lighting to produce healthy corals. Any help or tips?

I had one of those. The AI hydra 26 light worked great for that tank

Here's a few links to some stuff I'd like to have, not that I need everything here but I'd like as much of it as possible.

Orange Ricordea Yuma Mushroom

Sinularia sp.-The Alien Hands Sinularia is our favorite coral that we grow. They can be so incredibly bright especially under actinic lighting. Alien Hands Sinularia do well in medium to high lighting and light to medium flow and are a great selection for a soft coral enthusiast.

These are some options that will work. I have the last One on a 55. It's only 60 watt each so maybe not the best for acropora unless it's up close to the light. The green hydnophora is a powerful coral keep it away from any other coral in the reef.
