I have a Fluval Marine 3.0 on my tank right now. However, it's not going to cut it if I want to do some SPS. I am trying to figure out what to upgrade to. I also have some red macroalgae growing in the tank. The tank is an 8 gallon bowfront, so very small.
I am currently looking at three options:
Orphek OR3 Reef Day Bar.
It's got nice colors to it, and its within my budget. I'm unsure how much PAR a single bar will have though.
AI Blade
Nice price. Nice shape. Unsure if the PAR numbers will hit the numbers I need, and I am worried it may be to blue. I really like the white natural looking light.
AI Prime
A little outside my budget, and it's not a bar but a spotlight. My friends all recommended it, and it seems to have the PAR to grow SPS, so I am considering it.
What do you think? Which light would work best for my needs?
