Picking a Light

[AshleysReef]

Hello,

New to the hobby and would like to purchase a light for an Innovative Marine NUVO Fusion Pro 30, the website says the display dimensions are L 35" W 10” Height: 13”.
I am looking for a light that will be able to help me grow LPS and soft coral and maybe in a few years venture into SPS.

I have made a list of light options mostly based on my own research and within my budget, I am hoping someone could tell me what would give me the best results, sorry there are so many options and it's a bit overwhelming
Thanks!

1) 2 x Kessil A360WEs

2) 2 x AI Prime 16HD

3) 1 x Radion XR15 G5 PRO

4) 1 x Hydra 32HD

Thank you

Have you considered going with a T5 setup? If you are new to this hobby T5 is a tried and true method and proven to grow corals and will save you some money up front. Then once you are into it for a while and have learned a lot and have you tank stable and the corals doing good and established maybe change over to LED.

I did consider T5s, my only issue with that was the width of my tank could probably only handle 3 T5 Bulbs at 36", with them being 39w each. So I figured why not just go LED for a similar wattage and a "cleaner" look. Was planing on just using the gooseneck versus hanging.

@AshleysReef my apologies!!! I posted a similar question earlier, saw your post, followed and when I saw a response I thought it was a response to my own post, did not mean to hijack your post.
By the time I realized I could not delete the comment. Sorry about that!
