Mussin Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Just picked up a waterbox 10g cube rimless. Looking for a light, nothing crazy, probably just a few zoas and maybe a few small LPS. The tank is in my kitchen counter without a lot of height space. Any ideas/options? Thanks Quote Link to comment
billygoat Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Kessil's A80 is my go-to light for a little tank like that. The gooseneck mount would allow you to get it pretty close to the waterline, which would be good for a tight space. If it's suuuper tight and the light needs to sit just a few inches above the water, a lower-profile light like the 20w Fluval SEA Marine LED might be a better option. Either one should be sufficiently powerful for what you're planning to keep. Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Amazon has plenty of 30w lights that are less than $100. No need for kessil or ai or radion. Search for nicrew 30w. 1 Quote Link to comment

jservedio Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 AI Prime 16HD! The A80 is a super cool little light, but it's not very powerful - it'd be seriously stretched on a 14" deep tank. Ideal for a pico, but 10g is probably a little big for it. Quote Link to comment
Mussin Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 I ended up going with the nicrew 30. So far I love it. 2 Quote Link to comment
MisturrTinnie Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I got the AI Prime on mine currently, I like the adjustability factor and also the ramping. I couldn't say no for $70. Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Nicrew looks real nice! that's the 30w? Quote Link to comment
Ohmegg Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I had great luck with a $16 Beamwork 12 inch light I got from EBay. Was growing sps and lps about 7 inches from the light and mushrooms/war coral about 15 - 18 inches below. A single switch turns off the white leds to enjoy the fluorescence under the blue.
