Kayman Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I currently have a 20gallon L tank that I was about to set up but after painting the background, I was able to see a good amount of scratches. I'm thinking about getting a 29 Gallon and was wondering if my already pretty poor lighting, Duel T5's with 48watts, would be nearly enough for any corals at all in the taller tank?If not is there any setup I would be able to swing for under $100?Thanks!

Roshan8768 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Good enough for softies and some LPS towards the top of the tank Link to comment

Also this would be a good color combo to start with at a good price. These are great bulbs for the price. 2x Wave Point 12K http://www.amazon.com/Point-2-Pack-24-Watt-Universal-Aquarium/dp/B00B5TOF2E/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1418553321&sr=8-7&keywords=wave+point+12k 2x Wave Point Superblue http://www.amazon.com/Point-2-Pack-24-Watt-Universal-Aquarium/dp/B00B5TOH4U/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1418553459&sr=8-6&keywords=wave+point+super+blue The Coral Wave is another option for a purple bulb.
