socaljayhawk Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Would (2) Kessil A80's be enough light for this tank? Not completely decided on what corals I want, so want to be able to keep anything happy. Not trying to skimp, just trying to not burn money when its not needed. The Chinese black boxes tempt me, but theyre just so ugly! Thanks in advance for your feedback! Quote Link to comment
samnaz Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'd say get the absolute best light you can afford. In the future you may want high light demanding corals. I have no experience with Kessil so I can't say whether or not two would be adequate. Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'd go with a nanobox or Ai Quote Link to comment
socaljayhawk Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Really like the Nanobox's....but its the most expensive of the 3 unfortunately. So looks like its between 2 AI Prime HDs, or Kessil 180s...thats worse then the Ford/Chevy debate it seems! Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 1 ai is may do the 30 depending on the dimensions. Other options are: Aquamaxx nemolight Current orbit Mars Aqua Par38 coral compulsion Quote Link to comment
burtbollinger Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Nanobox or the AI Primes. 1 Quote Link to comment

samnaz Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Nanobox quad? Great choice! I got one for my 30L. Quote Link to comment
socaljayhawk Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Just now, samnaz said: Nanobox quad? Great choice! I got one for my 30L. Actually Dave suggested 2 of the Tide Plus Ms...and hes putting them on the same controller. I hope its enough (?)...trusting Dave on this one. He gave me a decent price to come in below the Kessil 160s (once I added the controller and mounts). Wish I could afford the Quad right now tho. 1 Quote Link to comment
