I am stuck on which route to go! I am currently setting up a waterbox 60.2 (24 x 24x 18) tank and am going back and forth with which light fixture to go with. I am going to be doing a mixed reef with only a handful of sps at the most.
I love the look of the kessils and the compact size of it, but i worry that it won't be enough light output. I know I will have enough light with the orphek but worry about more of a disco ball effect and mounting issue. I will be using a tank mounted arm on either one of the lights I decide to get. I can't stand the hanging kit look. Orpheks mounting arm has a glass thickness minimum of 10mm to use. The waterbox uses an 8mm thick glass. Is there some way I would be able to get around this issue if I were to go with orphek? Would love to get some opinions

Yes. Numerous ways to use a spacer to add to the glass thickness. Small piece of glass or plastic should work. Have had Kessils, Razors and Orphek. Just my opinion but Orphek is a far superior light.
