What kind of lighting would be suggested for my 2.5 gallon aga?
My plan is mainly zoa and LPS corals, but who knows what the future holds for this pico.
I am interested in any prebuild lights or DIY lights.
I am open to either kind. I like cheap but i know this hobby isnt lol.
I want to keep the price $80 or less if possible. If not its ok.

You'll be limited on LPS due to size. Have you condiedered the 38 PAR? Here's a link. http://www.nanotuners.com/product_info.php?products_id=623

i got mine for around 40 bucks, im sure if you shop around you can find one at a decent price.

or you could go for the coralife 2x18watt pc, which is close in price, but i am not a fan of coralife bulbs, you could always replace them down the road.

both are under 80 bucks....

if you wanna go super cheap, http://shop.aquatraders.com/Odyssea-13in-1...ure-p/51101.htm

its 13'' and the bulb is probably sht, could always replace it with a diffrent brand 50/50, but for 22 bucks, im probably gonna get one...but it will be for my 2.5 FW

all these choices will sustain most zoas, softies, lps, and maybe even a monti cap if you keep up with your water quality
