shawnd08 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I am starting up a Mixed reef using a CADLights 15g Tank. The dimensions are 21 L x 13 W x 13.5 H. I would like something that can be controlled but would also like to keep it on the lower end of price. The Nano Box Duo would be great but I can bring my self to spend 500 dollars for the light at this time. I also looked at the AI Prime which probably wouldn't have the spread I need, as well as there Hydra 26. my other thoughts where a Kessile a160 but I am not sure that will cover the tank. I could also do 2 par 38s but but would lose the control-ability. Any suggestion or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys, Link to comment
gus6464 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hydroponics quad t5 fixture. Less than $100 will grow whatever you want on that tank. Link to comment
nismo_sky32 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Check out my thread. I have the same tank and I'm running an AI prime over it. Pretty hard to beat the price for what you get Link to comment
Exodus Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The hydra 26 would be more than enough for a tank that size. That's a very powerful little LED Lamp with more than double the amount of their Nano fixture @ 90W. The AI Prime for the money would be fine as long as our not doing SPS up the entire tank and kept softies or LPS on the sides, you might also look at the Kessil A350 that would be more than enough for your tank as well Link to comment
BilabongAthlete Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The AI Prime would still work great, my tank is 20 X 13 X 13.5 and the light still covers the tank perfectly, the light is strong and started to bleach my diatata so I turned the lights down a bit Link to comment
