Keraxis January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Leak test in progress. I need to upgrade the LED to grow coral. Any recommendations for such a small tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keraxis January 21, 2016 Author Share January 21, 2016 (edited) I was thinking about Nanobox Mini Tide led..... Never mind. Just realized the price of those Edited January 21, 2016 by Keraxis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 I did the same check and also just couldn't spend the money for it even though it is a super nice light. If you are handy you can do one for with a couple three way Cree LEDs on a bit of heat sink with a dimmable driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever I use has to look clean.... Iam kind of toeing the line on whether or not I can actually have a tank on my desk. I went through all documents and there is nothing that says I cant but it does say you can bring your dog to work. SB makes a a micro version of the evergrow. https://sbreeflights.com/ He just started shipping them but I cant find a price yet. Before anyone asks... yes SB stands for what you think it does. He has a good sense of humor but his lights are very good Edited January 21, 2016 by Keraxis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastiireefs February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 I have the same tank and I was also looking to upgrade the light (just to grow softies) I was looking at something like this on a gooseneck clip I think http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YYT50KS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_20&smid=A2KN7UQ38V9ZMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 A par 30 on a gooseneck or even one of those desk lights with the hinge in the middle would probably work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 A par 30 on a gooseneck or even one of those desk lights with the hinge in the middle would probably work just fine. exactly this. The lights on the Nuvos (at least the 16) can keep LPS and softies, and even hardier SPS going. They also slide on the rim very nicely, I don't know if they can be purchased separate. Like Alan, I would suggest a par 38. Jason recommended a DIY LED company to me a year or so back, I never ordered from them, but their customer service was on point. They sold kits for most size ranges. I would reach out to him (or see if he chimes in) As far as i know, he build his lights himself, and they are still going strong. @jason rhoads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keraxis February 17, 2016 Author Share February 17, 2016 I ended up getting the wavepoint. I can use the stock light and the wavepoint which has blue and white. Should be able to handle up to lps which is what I wanted. If it doesnt work out I can steal my 160a kessil for it but then I would have to get a new light for my daughters tank which iam setting up.

Bobb_y78 May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 I love this tank. I have it on a desk lamp from ikea with a par 30 bulb and it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
