    Would the AI Nano LED's be enough lighting for a 26 bow front? Tank specs are 24L x 15W x 21D. However from water surface to sand bed the depth is actually 18".

    Do you not like your T5 setup anymore?

    1 won't cover it, you'd need two. Whether or not that will be good, depends on what you want to keep and where. They are not PAR monsters by any means. They have decent PAR, for SPS, probably to about 12"-15" from the fixture. So, if your hanging it 6", for example, that's only about 6"-9" deep or so. For LPS, they should be fine to the bottom though.

    I was just reading an article on the al nanos and looks like there good for a
    20"x20" area. So sps would probably have to go center up. :)

    dont buy the nano.. get the full size for $50 more or whatever it is, then when and if you upgrade you didnt buy a light that wont be any good on a larger tank!
