I am trying to start a 20L frag tank. I already have the tank and the filtration to get me going. I found these 2 light fixtures which I know are probably not the greatest but will get me going for now. I just dont have 200-300 dollars to blow on a light right now. Just let me know which one you all think is better to get going or if you know of another one around the same price range let me know. Thanks'

Cheap and works just fine for a frag tank.

imo, your better off saving up for a quality light. you wont have to worry bout it later. but of the 2 i'd get the 30". It'll be fine for a frag setup

Is that pc lighting good enough for growing zoas?

Don't waste your money on pc's, especially for farming. Although I think that t5's are by far the best frag tank lighting, I don't really like those Odyssea ones due to the fact that they don't have individual reflectors, which is what makes the biggest difference with t5 lighting. I'd look into finding a good quality used fixture on the forums here or on RC...

T5 does look good and the colors are endless with so many bulbs to pick from. or you can go with MH 20k for blue
