Lighting Help!
So i ordered my very first tank today! I went with the Innovative Marine Fusion Lagoon 25! Now I am stuck on which type of light i want to get and need some advice. The dimensions of the tank are 24"L by 20"W by 12"H. I was debating between the AI Prime, the AI Hydra 26, or the Kessil A360W-E Tuna Blue! What are your thoughts on these lights or would you consider one different?

What do you plan to keep in your tank?

I don't have experience with these lights as I run t5s, but for my little suggestion the ai hydra 26 gives a nice blend of color. If you like your corals to flouresce under blue light the kessil can't be ignored IMO as I have seen them make corals pop at my local lfs. Happy reefing!!

Both the kessils and Primes have about an 18” spread. I believe the Hydra has more? You’d have to look it up

Any of them will be more than enough. All of them have their good points and bad. I have a pair of A360W's on my 48x24x12 frag tank, about 14" above water and they are at maybe 50% intensity. I know people with Hydra 26's on their24" deep tanks.
The A360's can have an issue with shadowing, but that seems to be more of an issue with SPS. Choose the one that you think will look the best hanging over your tank and go with that.
