Need help lighting for 20L

Recommended Posts

Unfortunately my top choices (Nanobox Quad/Duo and the Radion G2/3) are out of my price range right now. I would like to get a decent LED fixture though, right now I have a POS Oddysea T5 (4 bulbs, 18") that technically is working, I just hate it. Tank is a 20L, plan to mainly do LPS and softies, might have some birdsnest and monti's though.

 

Here's what I'm looking at:

 

Current USA 24" Marine Orbit+

Reefbreeders Value equivalent

Ocean Revive

I'm trying to stay with LED, and under $200-250 if I can. Any other suggestions that would cover this size?

I am currently setting up a 20L tank. After spending a lot of time, I finally chose Current USA 24"-36".

I have not started using it. The following are my suggestions for this light

(a) It is really a very good light for shallow tanks.

(B) You do not need any stand or fixture to hang this light. Sits very snug on the tank.

© Comes with a very handy controller

(d) Gives you a wide range of intensity and spectrum adjustment

 

Poeple whom I know are having very good results with this light.

The reef reedbreeders is alright as long as you get he higher optics to cover the full tank.

I know someone who runs a store that uses these unit over his 20l and has great luck and growth

Thanks, those are exactly the reasons I was looking at it. When you get it, can you see if it supports any SPS? Like I said I just was looking at Birdsnest and Monti's maybe. Or can you ask the people you know about that?

That's also what I've heard, I was planning on the 120 degree optics so hopefully it would work well.
