REEFLED, or HYDRA32 for Innovative Marine 20Gallon

[Isaacharry]

Hi all. My innovative marine is a mixed reef and the dimensions are 24”x15”x13”

should I do a reefLED50, reefLED90 or a hydra 32HD

Between all those, the hydra. Wider spectral output. But I’d do 2 primes over a single 32. You can even up the light intensity better.

Second this. Primes are legit good, save you some money as well

Just to be clear ReefLED90 not 50. Removed that from my options

Would you say the 32 HD is better than the reefLED90 ?

From a data standpoint yes. Comparison rough spectral output of the reef led at 100% on the 15k (whitest) setting versus the current generation of prime/hydra spectral output of an AB+ estimation here you can see the AI has a wider spectral range. That’s not even with all channels maxed.

I don’t use either so all I have to go off of is data. But that would be enough for me to make an informed decision.
