I have two of the 12" lights above my 7.5 gallon nano and everything was doing well until I found several pests enjoying a buffet with my coral).

par38 bulb may be in your price range

I was lookin at finnex ray 2,fluval reef nano( even though out of range)...if i get par 38 how many would i need??

[smallville]

Depends on the dimensions. I used to have one on my current acrylic cube which is 12x12x12 and one par 38 was more than enough. However I put it on my 18x18x18 acrylic cube and ended up needing at least 2-3 because of the spot light effect.

Tank is standard 10 gal rimmed,10"deep to bottom 20" long...currently has mostly lps....at the moment....

[hawkfish01]

Full dimesions are :10" wide front to back,20" long,10" deep top to bottom...would this tank need 1 or 2 par 38's....

Save the money and buy a AI Hydra

Lights is the most important equipment to grow corals and its a one time investment. If you go cheap now, you will eventually buy the more expensive unit and end up paying more overall.

You would definitely need 2 par 38s

Here is the Solar Flare that I got for my 8 gal from Quantum Reefs for about $80. Love it so far and should be bright enough.

I'm new to saltwater but I'm using a finnex ray 2 24" on my 15 gal (12" high) and it seems to be doing a great job.  I'm only keeping sofites and a couple LPS but they are all doing well.  The light is very bright and has a sleek design.

Even an Ebay light possibly...

If you went with the Par38's, I'd get 2 for sure, that way you will have Full coverage that should look Smooth and Clean.

Evergrow d120...if there is another group buy. You could use it over the 10 now and it would also still be useful if you ever switch gears

It would be a great light... but possibly Overkill. lol... JustKeepTheDimmerDown??? lol

[smallreef]

Yeah...you could easily keep it dialed down and when you get a bigger tank your still able to use it or add one if its a longer tank...
