Go with the 24! I have the 16 in my little girls room and wish I would've gotten the 24.

I have the 29 cube easy decent lights don't think they will handle high PAR SPS but the softies, shrooms and even a BTA are doing great in mine. Nuvo hit a home run as far as I am concerned. :clap:

They come with LEDs, I just don't think they are strong enough for SPS but should be fine for just about anything else.

the 24 doesn't come with any lights from my understanding...was looking at a 24 as well then realized the lights will cost as much as the aquarium.

Oh, my bad. I just figured that since they are considered all in ones that they would come with the same lighting as the 16.

I'm sure they will offer it sooner or later..they offer a "reef ready" kit on every other tank. Just give them some time.

A dual T-5 fixture and you are rocking, This may even be the tank for some low power LEDs to work due to the shallow nature
