Hey everyone.

I've been looking for an LED fixture that can support LPS and softies.

I would just like a simple fixture or Par38 bulb. I'm open to DIY, but it looks a little complicated.

I have a standard 10 gallon tank with normal dimensions.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

It would also be extremely helpful if you would posts the links to your suggestions.

Thanks in advance. :)

I personally would save up to $150. Do some odd jobs or something to get you the extra couple of bucks and get a Kessil 150.

 

It would save you in the long run.

Kessil a150w is $250.00.

Even though I am getting a job soon I cannot afford to blow my entire pay check on expensive aquarium supplies. I need to save for things like college and a car. If I had the money I would but I can barely scrape up enough money to start this tank. Suggestions under $75.00 are the most helpful right now. Thanks for understanding. :)

 

Would one of these be good?

Reefkoi has a nice par38, I'm currently running one over my 10. It's also probably as close as your going to get to your $75 ( unless you go used) at $79

 

Whoops shoulda read your post all the way :P

Can you show me a pic of your tank or thread link so I can see what it looks like?

Thanks! ;)

So I should be good with the reefkoi? Does the bulb screw into any old lamp or do

I need a special one?

They'll go into any standard socket, they sell a goose neck which is nice, but I'm just using an architects desk lamp that I got from Walmart for $10 I believe.

if you haven't decided yet,maybe look into RapidLED's Nano Driver-$30 and then contact Jeff at StevesLED's 7up ( you can use any Luxeon ES leds on these ) with a 10" tubular heatsink. Should be about in your price range.
