Best light for an Aquapod 24gal

[acidlittle]

I've got the 150w Halide for it, but the bulb definitely needs replaced, so I'm thinking of going to just LEDs but want a good unit that won't break my wallet, I've been outta the hobby for awhile so I don't know the first thing about LED makers/quality and such, or even how many watts/gallon is recommended or if that's even a thing anymore!!!

 

Any advice would help, looking at the $100-$150 range, prefer nothing ceiling mounted either.

Those are pretty strict restrictions. Honestly, this is your best choice. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Evergrow-Dimmable-Full-Spectrum-D2120-120W-LED-Light-For-Reef-saltwater-aquarium-/330900426092 Is it high quality? No. Is the warranty good? No. Is it within the price range? Yes. Will you need to find a way to mount it? Yes. Is it a pretty good light? Yes. Unfortunately, that's a tiny budget for an LED fixture so your options are extremely limited. It's hard to even do a decent DIY LED for that price range.

If you're willing to go to the $210 range nanobiscuit is selling a maxspet razor nano that would rock on this tank. Its a cube style yes? I ran one on my nanocube and on my 40B AIO its a good light at a good price,plus you.can add other maxspects to it as you upgrade tanks.

Thanks guy for all the help, I can probably hold off for another month and save up for a good quality light. Now to figure out which one would work best for my tank
