Lighting recommendation for Acan cube build

[cmantis]

I have a 20x20x14 CK AIO tank and right now I have a 150w MH over it which is way too much for acans (my favorite). I need some recommendations on lighting or if you have something for sale or trade please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I keep most of my Acans under a Kessil. THe colors are amazing. I have bought browned out Acan colonies and after a month or two they have changed into amazing colored pinwheel acans. Id deff think about a Kessil!

i was going to suggest kessil as well. after reading the first reply it sounds like a good choice for you

Thanks I saw Pop Corals has a deal on A350W was thinking about that.

Also working with a company now where I can custom design Kessil style light. How many watts do you think I would need?

 

[cmantis]

Ok I talked to them and I can get anywhere from 20-100 watts.

Would that light have dimming option? If so, go higher than what you think you need and dial back as needed

That light is powerful so start at %50 on both channels and then move up. Also don't think because it's small it's not powerful. That will be a great addition to that tank. Good Luck.

thirty6 yes two to five channel dimming depending how I build it.
