AI Prime HDs are solid for smaller tanks. You can dial in the intensity and spectrum, so you won't nuke your softies.
Sweet, I'll check those out. My tank's only 20 gallons, so that might work.

Another thing to consider is photoperiod. I run my lights for 10 hours, but only at full intensity for 6. The ramp-up and down seem to help my corals adjust.
