EndlessXPs Posted July 13, 2017 Hi all, Long time fish keeper, first time reefer. Just bought a Nuvo14 Peninsula and a Kessil A80 with hopes of starting a reef tank. After 2 days I've already decided I'm going to get a bigger cube tank. My question is; if I go with a 16"x16"x16" cube, will the A80 work to support SPS? Also if anybody is interested in a 2 day old Nuvo 14, let me know. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post
GregEmmitte Posted July 13, 2017 It should. If not sell it to me and get the A160 Quote Share this post Link to post
Finhead1 Posted July 13, 2017 IMO no It wont, I had a 160 above my Reefer Nano (18" cube) and it was not near enough. You would need at least 2 160's to light a tank that size and not get shading. I went with a "Black box" 165w (120w true watts) light after the kessil, it's miles better in coral growth and coloring. BTW a 16" cube is only bumping you up 3 gals from your current tank. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
