Lol its not Friday yet, there's way to much fun happening. Back on track. Will a ai nano grow anemones? And I thought ai nanos were like 550. 100 cheaper then the sol.

I also think Martin at Modular LED would be a good choice. I have a kit for my 24g nano. Corals seem to love it :-), he can help you with options that you are looking for.

Yikes where are you getting your prices from? Ai sols are 400 and change. And the nanos are like 300 and change. You just have to buy a controller. No doubt the light is strong enough, but if your tank is young I would wait for it to mature before you take the plunge into an anemone

Martin could do a good dimmable kit for you for less then the nano though so I would definitely give him a PM. Also look into ecoxotic panorama strips and modules with Martin too, he can work magic for your wallet and needs.

I second taking it slow, especially at the beginning!! I had to return my nem because my tank was crashing after I bought it as a complete setup. Lost almost all of my corals. First few months can be trial an error if you are new at this, makes freshwater look effortless! It's worth it though once you learn and thing become ... more stable

Nanos $329 Sol $399! Save yourself the headack of trying to figure out LED'S & reach out to Martin. I was totally stupid when it came to LEDs, he taught me what I wanted to know and now I have 2 of the biggest bad ass led lights around.
