Supplemental light or new lighting?

Honestly, AI is the next best bet after Radions. I'm getting good PAR out of a Prime HD. For $250 each they are hard to beat! A Radion XR15 would cover 18" better than a Prime though. I have seen single Prime over the 24" IM 20 gallon tanks for LPS corals and though it looked spot light ish the corals did very well. What kind of corals are you trying to grow?

A single AI prime is basically maxed out over 18". I really like the ai app for customizing though.

Yea from what I've seen they do look a bit spot light-ish I'm keeping my options open for now I still have at least a month for cycle ahead. And I'll just be using my panoramas for then. I'd like to keep zoas,ricordea, lps and sps

Yeah I see that. I think I'd like a bit more on the spread and par.
