I am looking at setting up a nano in my office and need some help picking a light. I want to go with LED because of cost, fixture size and noise.

Looking at the 25g IM Fusion Lagoon (24x20x12)
Keeping a Nem, LPS, zoas...possibly a couple of montis

I need controllability (remotely if possible) and for it to run quietly.

Leaning toward Kessil (A80 or 160?)
Or
AI prime HD

The store I went to couldn't tell me what features were controllable on the Kessil of any? It looks like I would need the spectral controller which obviously brings the cost up to about equal with the AI.

Open to other suggestions as well

TIA

^This...I have both the XR15 Pro Gen 3 and 4. Both versions have shown good growth and color in my nano.

I would go with the AI prime HD. It have a built-in wifi out of the box.

XR15 is a great light but you have to hook it up to to an Apex or Reeflink to control.

You can also hook it up to a lap top to control your setting

Thanks for the responses guys. The xr15 is beautiful but almost double the money and a bit out of my budget. Maybe it's worth it or I can find one used? The ease of control is really important to me as well.

Anyone using the AI Prime?

Yes, I've had no trouble accessing via Wi-Fi, you can adjust color to your preference, I've got a 20k look for the first and last hours of the day and 14k between. I like a bright looking tank but that definitely changes the colors on coral. I think the HD would serve you well on your tank size.
