What are your tank dimensions? IMHO, with leds you need to think about coverage first, instensity second, and color third.

Solar tube :-)

[moga]

changed the plan..  PAR38 LED 20k with gooseneck fixture.~

[smallreef]

sounds like a plan!

and less expensive, while that light was cool as H-E-double hockey sticks...im sure it was as much if not more than a d120,lol

[londonloco]

That MicMol was def sexy, couldn't find anywhere to buy it tho....

I had a 5.5g nano with a marineland reef led light. It did really good. I liked that setup a lot. I have since moved everything out of the nano, but that light impressed me. The price wasn't bad either. I didn't do any sps but everything I put in there did well.

 

I'm pretty sure it was around $100 or less
