I have a 57 rimless with 2 ai sole blue with mostly sps. My chalice and acans arent doing well in this tank. Im setting up a 28 nano cube, im getting rid of the hqi hood (too hot), im thinking of getting a kessil 150 15k, will this be enought for chalice and acans?im told my 57 water is too clean, what would be good for the 28?

honestly the less intense light the better for most chalice and acans. they really just like to be fed, moderate flow, and good water quality. i was recently having a problem with them under leds and moved them into areas of very little light and they are healing now and eating. so possibly a cheapy little led light with more blue show off their colors would probably be a good idea.

if you do a kessil 150 make sure to hang it high for the acans and chalices both of these corals like bluer, less intense lights for the best coloration. I think a kessil would be great for it but I think most people just don't acclimate them good enough or hang the fixture high enough
