hey looking to start up a little 30 gal cube. 20x18x20. Might dabble in some zoas and LPS. I’ve been out of the hobby awhile. Not sure what’s out there anymore. T5 still the thing? I know LED was getting popular when I got out. Because the size I’m assuming I’m going to have to lean LED? No 18” T5 on the market correct?

You would be able to get away with a AI Prime HD.

Mars aqua 165w pretty cheap, set and forget, grows everything, non programmable though

Kessil 360x would be a good choice too

Always loved the green star polyps, easy to care for and looks good.

Welcome back...another budget friendly LED option Ocean Revive T247 http://www.oceanrevivellc.com/ Running 2 on my 90g mixed LPS and SPS. Good luck with the build.

I like that you can control this straight from your iPhone in comparison to the Kessil 360x you have to buy the controller separate.

It's a really nice feature with the AI lights.

A friend of mine, @Kman turned me on to the aquaillumination lights years ago.

I'm on my second set. Upgraded to the 52hds, but nothing wrong with my older hydras either.

I absolutely love these lights

Just went over some reviews of these Mars Aqua LED. From what I’m seeing they’re pretty decent and reliable at growing SPS and LPS. Am I missing something? At $100 a pop that’s pretty solid price point
