I currently have a 20g tank with an AI prime HD

I was planning to get either the IM Nuvo 40 or the IM Lagoon 50
Im wondering the light recommendation on these, I know the AI prime spread is 24x24 but idk if that is pushing it on the 40 since it is 19" tall
For the the 50 Id assume id need 2 lights to get a decent spread, I know it'll be pricey but im wondering if there is any cheaper options like chinese black box or some unbranded stuff from aliexpress/amazon.

Thanks in advance for the help

Since you already have 1 ai prime, might as well get another and you’d be set for whichever tank you decide to get. Used ai primes are for sale pretty often on here and other forums.
The China black box led would work also, I used one for quite a while, but they have minimal control,(only a blue and white channel) are a bit bulky in comparison and you’d probably have to rig up some sort of way to mount/hang it.

So I ended up getting the lagoon 50, which is 30x24x16 but after the chamber its 30x19x16

Im trying to see if I can find 1 light can cover the spread, tank will most likely be lps only
or I guess I'll take options for 2 lights without it being too pricey
