What light to get

[beanlaguine]

New reefer here I’ve only had fish only tanks and I’m wanting to start a nano reef tank I bought the lifegard 24 gallon tank but I’m not sure what light to get for it

could try a smatfarm, noopsyche m, or nicrew LEDs if budget is an issue. if budget is not an issue you can get a used AI hydra 32hd, reefi uno 2.0, kessil, or radion

and welcome aboard the r2r board!

depends what your budget and visual desire is. I hear a lot of people say Nicrew brand is a great budget option. If you want some crazy shimmer, a kessil a360 would be a solid choice.

I really like the AI Blades and they can be paired up with a bunch of other lights down the road or they’re amazing on their own as well

Heard a lot of great tunings about Prime 16 HD what I heard is expensive but worth every penny. I am looking forward to upgrade mine soon to it

I have a prime 16hd and it melted the lens. They are notorious for this. I’m in the market for something else

Noopsyche and nicrew hyperreef are high on my list

AI will replace the lens for free or cost of shipping even out of warranty
