Nicrew 150w light for 40 breeder

[Novicereefer]

Hi,

I have a 40 breeder. Looking into thy Nicrew light. Should I get 2 evenly spaced 50w lights or 150w light in the center since it has 3 pucks? I mainly have Softies and LPS. Only Sps I have is Digi and Monticap which are at the top of my light structure.

Two of the 50w lights would be better.

I was thinking the same thing. For spacing reasons?

Yes. For better coverage and flexibility. 150w will create a spotlight effect where the side of your tank will be dimmer and the middle will be too much light. For smaller tanks, multiple fixtures is always better than one big fixture.

Ok cool. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks. Good points.

Exactly. The larger one will have a greater hotspot

Thank you very much. I'll go ahead and order 2 of the 50w.

Do you know where is a good place to try to sell my Radion xr 15 gen 4 and my AI Prime 16hd? They are both obviously used but both in gray condition with their respective arms

Eh...why you getting nicrew when you already have Radion and AI prime? Both are better than nicrew...

Because I have 1 of each and they don't blend well together. The 2 different blues drive me crazy. My plan was to sell the xr 15 and the RMS for $350 and buy another ai prime but I can't find any takers. I guess typing this out, it doesn't make much sense as I read it back ‍.

You're right
