I have a little nano that I'm setting up for a living space that's just going to be higher end zoas and some LPS. The tank came with an older AI nano (simple blue and white LEDs). I'm going to upgrade the light to something with built in control. If the kessil a80 had built in wifi that'd be an option but it doesn't, so it's not :)

I've done some searching and a lot of people say that the nanobox has a better visual aesthetic (the color rendition in the tank, not the form factor) due to diode selection. I'm confident that either light would do just fine supporting growth and health of the coral. Really just wondering if there's any truth to the color being better from the nanobox.

I'm also kinda looking at the coralbox light since it seems to have a great layout as well.

Look forward to any thought you all may have.
 
They are all good lights, Im fairly familiar with AI and I currently have a nanobox and a coralbox in use on two different tanks.. IMO nanobox definitely has better color than AI or coralbox
 
I had an ai prime and a nanobox ati hybrid. Without the t5s I absolutely loved the color I got from the nanobox.
 
It's been a few years since I had a NanoBox, the Bluefish app was a pain. Not sure if you're able to download the apps and play around?
