Hey guys, someone gave me a 10 gallon long rimless tank. I have an established nuvo 20 that is about a year and a half old with two AI Primes on it. For the tank I was given I'm thinking about looking into budget lights as it will be mainly a softy tank with a few acans and maybe a frog spawn or two. I love my ai primes but was wondering if you guys had any recommendations before I spent the money on another ai prime. I've been looking into black boxes but hear mixed reviews. Thanks!

What are you trying to grow? Lumini Asta 20  can grow softies and LPS. Their pixie 30 is supposedly even better, but I haven’t tried it.

An abi tuna blue par38. They are great lights, grow any coral.

Cheap too. 

 

Depending on length of tank, 1 ai may not be enough for spread.

 

2  abi par38's would be cheaper.

 

I've tried the asta 20, on a 2.5g I got barely any growth.
