Upgrade light what brand?

[Oohkris123]

I want to upgrade my lighting system what brand would you guys recommend. My tank is 24g Im planning on keeping anemones, lps, softies, and some basic easy sps. If anybody can help me choose a good light thank you

For that tank a hydra 26 would be good, and versatile down the road if you upgrade.

That, a 360X by Kessil, and Radion are all considered really good, but they are even more expensive, if your looking for something cheaper there’s lots of threads on here for black boxes and which ones are best. I use kessil myself.

What do you have now? None of these might even be upgrades.

Thanks. That light probably does need upgraded.

Along with the suggestions above, ReefBreeders V2, Orphek V4 (prob my favorite, but also expensive) or SB Reef Lights can work.

...or just a 4-6 bulb T5 unit.
