Which light

[Joshifer]

Okay so I’m doing this budget thing both lights are $30 bucks. Again its a small 5G prolly have Xenia GSP and a frogspawn. 

 

Option 1 evo clip led

• Includes 6 LEDs
• 3 watt LED
• 800 Lumen
• 4x 10000K LEDs
• 2x Actinic 460nm LEDs
• Slim and contemporary light design

 

option 2  deep blue solar flare led

2 6500k daylight

2 10000k

1 actinic 460nm

 

both are clip on goose necks.  The evo is on eBay the solar flare is at reef escape in Fairfax.

I wouldn't do either. I think I have the solar flare on my Betta tank. I definy wouldn't buy that for a reef tank.

I'd do this and save yourself the trouble of upgrading later.

ABI 12W Tuna Blue LED Bulb Coral Reef Optimized Spectrum PAR38 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWP37SD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mngDDbKFZWJB3

(though I'd get the 23W)


There are plenty of other options in the $50-60 range if you're looking for something a little more aesthetically pleasing.

And that will plug in any standard lamp?

What are in the 50-60 range? This one I can hang like a chandelier I guess

A lot of people buy clip on goosenecks for them. Nano-reef has a ton of people using them. Just do a search and see if it's right for you.

This light also is used a lot and had good reviews from what I remember:

HIPARGERO LED Aquarium Light - Aquarium LED Lights 30W Saltwater Lighting with Touch Control and 3W Cree Chips for Coral Reef Fish Nano Tank https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0727V8C5Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_quhDDb6X8MPN4

I always wanted to try one but never got the opportunity. Look up "aquaknight" on nano-reef for reviews.

I was just looking at that one and was about to ask. I think I’ll go with this one I was reading reviews on Amazon people really like it and their pictures look great.

This may help you with your decision. The light you're looking at is a clone of it (like the black boxes).

I got this light today I must say it’s pretty awesome. Only thing I don’t like is the clamp gets in the water and it’s coated metal. I’m gonna make something to stick behind the tank to attach it to. Maybe a sturdy paper towel holder. But the colors really nice and uniform. No rainbows or stripes. And it remembers the intensity you had it set last so a timer will work with it. Awesome buy for $60. The coralline on my rock really pops so other more colorful things should look nice.  Thanks for the tip on this light.
