Lights

[Peter Abbey]

i just purchased a NUVo Fusion 50 (30x16x24). I was thinking of using 3- A80’s The tank will have mostly soft corals but I expect I will have a few SBS corals. Will this be enough light? Thanks

I don't believe that will be enough light. You need several high powered, at least 3W preferably 5W, LEDs to consider SPS of any sort.

Thank you - do you have any recommendations? would 3 A160's work?

 

[Peter Abbey]

Thank you - do you have any suggestions- how about 3 - A160's?

Thanks again

For that size tank you could do a pair of kessil 360s, those will be more than enough for soft and Lps corals and will be able to handle sps corals down the road

If you going to do SPS then a single Radion would work, there are quite a few for sale on the forum. If you wanted to go Kessil I'd go with the 360s.

The 3 160s would work pretty well I think.
Prob do some of the easy med light sps too. And probably an anemone. Bta at least.

360s would be the safer more flexible bet.
