Newbie Lighting Help

[HonorableWhat]

So, im new to saltwater and i am trying to figure out the best light to go with my tank for what i want to do with it.

Tank dimensions are 23.62″ x 23.62″ x 17.72″ 45 gallons.
I wish to keep mainly softies and lps but i may try out 1 or 2 sps placed in a high light area just to see if i like them.

Thank you for your time and knowledge

Get the controller with it not the wifi. It's not needed

Can i set light time and lunar cycle with the controller?

Will let you set intensity, color and a schedule on the one I have. I have the older 360we lights so not sure on the lunar cycle part

Look for someone selling used later generation Radion Xr15 or hydra 32HD. You can find them on this site, often for a good price. Be sure to inquire about age, usage, and why someone is selling.

One AI Prime over the center should be sufficient.

1 x radion xr15 g5 pro would be perfect. Plenty of light spread
