Finally got everything moved over to the 20g! Everything looks clear and healthy. Made the mistake of not using baffles in the sump so I have plenty of bubbles (even without a skimmer). I also got two Jebao RW-4s because I wanted to get some alternating flow going but even on the slowest setting...

Pretty happy with my upgraded 20g Nano Reef. Still small but feels like a mansion compared to the 10g. This livestock/rock/etc. have been with me for about 3 years and it's great to have in the office.Kessil A160 Tuna Blue LED Jebao RW-4 Controllable Wavemaker ViaAqua 100w Titanium Heater Taam...

Here are some updated Pics about 3 days after adding my Kessil A160. The tank looks great and corals seem to love it! I'm running in at about 14000K. FTS Emerald Crab on top of Hydnophora Macro Algae Frogspawn & Trumpet Trumpet and some Zoas Torch, Mushrooms, and a few scattered...

I would stay away from the 6500k for saltwater. I believe that will look more yellow than white, more suited for freshwater, possibly even promote some unwanted algae growth. I would guess most saltwater tanks today are 10000k, 20000k, acticnic or some blend of the three.

I used to run a pc fixture and went half 10k and half actinic. The only advantage of running 2 10k and 2 actinic over 4 50/50 would be that you can run them on different switches and turn blue and white on and off separately. This would allow you to create the dusk and dawn effects that most use.
