light question/suggestions

[aabiuso]

Hey guys I just recant set up an 18x18x18 cube, reef ready with sump and fuge...It has been set up and running just about 2 months with just a coupke of crabs and snails. I have a cheap 3 bulb led thing on there just to light it up from time to time and I have been trying to figure out what light to get. I want the tank to be a softy and LPS mainly tank no sps or clamp. Some of my options were the new kessil 160, an ai nano, The New Ai prime? If that ever comes out, the reef breeders superlux or nano light...there's probably more but I can't remember at the moment..I'm not trying to spend a crazy amount but want a good, strong enough, dimmable possibly controllable led. Let me know what you guys think would be a good option I'm open for anything thanks

What size is the cube and how deep

I think you would be fine with a Kessil 160 for a mixed reef 18" cube.

Yea it's 18x18x18 I was leaning towards the kessil but still don't know

Vegas are affordable and cover 24x24 if interested

I think the Vega is still a little too pricey at 500...has anyone heard more info on the ai prime? I would get that but it doesn't seem to be released yet even though they said black friday last year

If you dont mind refurbished can get you one for around 300

I think I made my decision on the hydra 26 and director

go with kessil and their controller. much more sleek on a smaller tank

The hydra 26 would be my first choice for a smaller tank/cube. Really sleek looking light with great performance.
