Nuvo 20 lighting.

[TJ Merrells]

I'm currently running a fluval spec v with a orbit marine pro 18-24 on it.
I keep zoas, hammers, frogspawn, Duncan, blasto etc.
Light has been working great for me so far

I'm considering upgrading my tank to a nuvo 20 but want to use the same light over it.

Looking for opinions. Thx

What's the question- it seems like it would fit the Nuvo 20, so if it's been working for those corals, why make any changes?

Because a nuvo 20 has different dimensions than a spec v

It does, and a spec-V is tiny, but a Nuvo 20 is also tiny. The actual in-tank dimensions are basically the same as the common 10g leader tank.

(IM way over-rates their tank sizes - the outside dimensions of a Nuvo-20 are 19 gallons - once you account for the sump and losing an inch and a half of height, you've got 10g of display)

I think I'd just try the current light if things are going fine, and see how things go before upgrading. A Prime HD would probably be my recommendation if you do upgrade, but its overkill.
