New Innovative Marine 25G Lagoon

This is not a bad option, 24 long so it would span across the entire tank. I would probably have to place it a few inches above the tank to reduce light spillage. Also the price is pretty good. It's even less than the price of 1 AI 16 new.

That's a good option. would have good coverage too. My buddy has the Photon 32-v2 on one of his tanks and they put out a ton of par.

These are the exact dimensions of the tank, do you think the 24 inch length of the photons is okay or should I look into something else? I think the inside length of the tank is going to be closer to 23 inches. Since it has 8mm thick glass on both sides, and I think the 23.62" is measured from the outside of the glass.

Just realized the photons have been discontinued! Bummer those looked nice and for a good price too

Thanks for the heads-up!

Only thing is that price point is not something to be excited about. I think for $500+ id rather do the 2 AI primes. And save some money for other things Id need for the tank

I wonder how t5s would look/perform on this type of setup.

Someone is selling this fixture locally for $200

No worries, my take is go with whatever you like. I’ll parrot what those who are substantially better sps growers than I am have told me repeatedly, lights are the 3rd most important thing in sps growing almost all modern lights put out enough par in the right spectrum to grows and color sps, water parameters and flow are more important.

I would choose the 3 bar bundle in white (spectrum).
