riley.jones01 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Guy is selling nano box hybrid on the forums here, get that Link to comment
magical2506 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 My budget is not more than 200. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I hate to say it,but a "sps friendly" light for $200 isn't gonna happen,respectfuly. You're going to have to shell.out $350-$400 to get something to cover the length and height of your tank. Unless you go halides,which someone is selling one on here for $30. Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 You all are funny. Get a sbreef light for like $130 shipped and call it a day. Link to comment
magical2506 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Has anyone grown sps with sbreef? Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yeah. A friend of mine has them over his frag tank. They're just a d120 but better. Link to comment
spectra Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 What is wrong with MH? If heat is not an issue I would go old school.................the shimmer is awesome and they can make a turd look great! I am running a single ended radium over a 40 breeder and growth is great!

magical2506 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Thanks for your helpful suggestions. As my tank is 24" planning to buy 2x36W and 1x12w ABI full actinic to put it in the middle. Also planning to build a good looking fixture using PVC pipe. Lets see how it goes and how it looks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331732325922?_trksid=p2060353.m2763.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/ABI-Blue-450-470nm-12W-PAR38-LED-Grow-Aquarium-Light-100-240V-/361476641423?hash=item5429afd28f:g:15QAAOSwOyJX2up1 Link to comment

Why not one of the 155W or 180W LED fixtures you can get for under $100? They claim to cover 2ft, and people use them for slightly longer tanks. Link to comment
Legendary Corals Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Ocean Revive units are also a great option. I've seen plenty of reef tanks that use this light with amazing success. http://www.reef2reef.com/threads/my-acro-collection-aka-my-obsession.238822/ Link to comment
