Nano lighting question

[ranchhand02]

I currently have a nuvo fusion 10 gallon set up with a kessil A 80 on it for a light. I am using the tank to QT new corals and fish as well as put new frags in the tank to heal. I have had some frags in the tank for 6 months or more and I am not getting any growth out of them. Zoas and LPS are all that is in the tank currently. I have had the zoas in there for 6 months and they have not added a single head. The coral opens up every day and seems healthy, but it does just not grow at all. Same with any LPS frags I put in the tank. I can move them to my display tank and the corals all grow, but they will not grow under the A80. My display tank is a JBJ nano cube 28 with a DIY LED kit from rapid LED. Do you think the lack of growth is due to the light? I am considering purchasing an AI prime HD and see if it will grow corals. Both of my tanks have been set up for almost two years now so they are both mature tanks.

I have a Nanobox duo on my IM 20 and have noticed new growth since switching from t5’s. I’m considering replacing my Kessil A80 on a 6 gallon nano to the Nanobox mini.

Have you had much growth with your kessil A80?

Is the a80 full blast ?
How long is it on? And what coral are you or seeing growth on

I have tried it on multiple settings and I have not seen any growth. I would make a change in the settings and wait several months before I made another change. It is currently maxed out and I have not seen any growth in the 10 months I have had the frags in the tank. I currently have zoas and LPS frags in the tank. The frags open and look healthy, but they do not grow at all.
