If you can stretch your budget a bit, you can get a Nanobox Mini Tide perhaps.

That tank would need a duo instead of a tide i think.

for that price you might wanna look into buildmyled.com

Ai nano .. Been a great light I'm placing one over my new build that is similar dimensions some place had it for 200 with out mounting bracket...aquarium specialty I think

[Halo_003]

Sorry, I was thinking of the 45-F.

 

Yes, a Duo would be needed for a 60-F.

Budget is too small.

 

You have a nice tank. Youll have nice animals.

 

Put a nice light over it.

 

Have Dave build you a nice Nano Box.

 

Good light over corals is not just a nice to have.Its how your corals get their food and eat.

you have a great tank

 

buying cheap is expensive

 

so get a nice light to put over that tank

PA has a pretty sick sale on the AI Nano.

75cm is 30 inches.

 

He would need like 3 of them. $600 is not a bad budget.

 

$600 for 30 LEDs is kinda off/high though.

Ya, I was hasty in posting that. 30 inches is a tough length. Honestly, a Hydra 52 would probably be your best bet for that price anyway.

i got one of these over my ten gallon. the colors are fairly nice. 16-18K lighting. i do wish it was a bit more blue but i just got some LED flexible strips on ebay and made a ring around the bulb. looks clean and only cost 2 bucks on extra parts. grows sps and lps easy. grab a goose neck that holds two heads, so one goosneck but with two heads, looks clean. Fragbox.ca i know has them. not sure where else. if anything too you can always try one goose neck and one par38. if you need more light you can just buy the head for two bulbs for 10 bucks.

Honestly though, if you need that much help...I don't think youre ready to build your own light.

 

Building your own light is not cheaper, if thats what you thought. Its usually, almost always, more expensive.

I have an awesomely overpowered E Cluster LED Storm Powered fixture. I had it over my 90cm wide 40B tank. Paint it white it would go most excellently over the OPs ADA tank.

 

I would sell it to the original poster for the $230 and I would pay US shipping and pp fees. Poster sounds like from another country.

sounds .. or rather reads like it yeah.

 

unlesss he/she just moved. lol

 

I remember looking around for a long time for a good fixture. Aside from that, there are these http://reefbreeders.com/value-led-fixture/ and i have seen them in action. they output a nice looking light, but the store owner said he regrets them greatly due to the lack of quality etc etc. PAR38 was then my next best bet. LED is still very expensive, but a better investment in the longer run than replacing 100 dollars worth of T5HO every 8 months.
