What do you use to light your Nuvo 20.

dreamcatcherr9 · Jan 23, 2020

I’m sure the question has been asked many times. So what do more people go with? What do you have on top of your Nuvo 20?

I am looking for maybe 2 lights. Budget around $450-500. Can not mount to ceiling (tank mount only), phone app a huge plus, but my biggest issue is under 5” clearance on top of tank.

Thoughts and opinions are appreciated.

Here's a thread just like yours showing what kind of light they are using.

Nano Build - Nuvo 20

Hello everyone, I'm new to saltwater/reefing and wanted to start a thread to capture the build progress of my Innovative Marine Nuvo 20. I bought this tank a few months back from a local reefer and slowly been buying the equipment while reading a lot on this forms and visiting multiple LFS...

The thread above they used a Kessil 360. I believe that cannot be tank mounted (I can not hang from ceiling). As mentioned above I also have some height limitations / clearance issues above tank. On a low end ($) I considered Fluval 3.0 (2 of them), Current Usa (but I have used their products in the past, wanted to try something different) or Nemo light? I really want a AI Prime (with a flex arm), just not sure if it will fit. And curious on other options out there...
