I am returning from a long break from the hobby due to moving and such. Starting to plan my next aquarium and I would like to get some thoughts from all of you. I have the NUVO Fusion 20, have not set anything up yet as I am slowly acquiring all the equipment. Next on my list is a light - all my previous tanks were MH or T5 as I did not trust LED's at the time. I would like to go the LED route this time.
I have an unused 24 inch aquaticlife 24 Watt that was discontinued - I don’t think it will be strong enough for this Nuvo 20.?.? http://www.marinedepot.com/AquaticL...xtures-AquaticLife-AK01263-FILTFILDLK-vi.html
Planning on keeping - Zoas, Acans, Montis, Few SPS.
Possible Light Options:
Aquaticlife 24 - It's free because I already own it but I am not sure it will be enough light.
AI Prime HD - Cost is great for this light and it has awesome features but I have been reading that it might not be enough light for the IM20 and I don’t want to buy 2.
Hydra 26 - Again great light but don't want to spend $350 if I don't have too.
Ocean Revive T247b - I am skeptical of this light but it seems to get great reviews, price is very tempting.
Kessel A160 - Decent price but again I am reading that 1 might not do the job.
I would go ahead and spend the $350 for the Hydra since it is a great light but I can see myself upgrading to a larger aquarium in about a year and will need to change lights again.
So, I am looking for some opinions / experiences / thoughts with these lights as I have never used LED's. Thanks!!
