Hello, please help me choose a lamp for a shallow aquarium.
The planned lenght of the tank is:
60-70cm (23-27 inches).
Width and height 25cm (10inches).
Planned cast: anemones, LPS and soft corals.

I have a choice of lamps:
1. Micmol felix 600 power 30w
2. Micmol air pro 450 power 56w
3. Popbloom s90+ reef power 90w.

Popbloom is the strongest but the shortest and would have to be hung high above the aquarium right?
Felix 600 -I'm afraid that the power is too weak because it is only 30w.
Micmol air pro, aren't three SMD5730 led's much worse than on popbloom?

I can't speak to those specific lights, but MicMol makes decent budget lights that can grow coral.

Why only choice of those three? I use noopsyche k7 v3 pros. Pretty decent light for the cost. Probably same price as popbloom

Currently I have Lominie Pixie 30 above my ankle, I was thinking about buying a second one but I'm afraid it won't be very bright.
I tested Spectra Aqua Knight V1 30w and it wasn't that either.
Micmol fenix 600 seems ok, but I'm afraid that the 30w won't be enough for such a long tank.

I like the tank: https://www.nano-reef.com/featured/2017/holy-carp-r117/

I'm surprised that only current orbit marine is lit there - so maybe this fenix could do it? especially since there are no white diodes that I would definitely remove at the start what do you think about current orbit marine?
I don't think there's much power there, right?
