Tetra1 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hey everyone, while I'm not new to reef keeping, I have been out of the hobby for a few years now. I am in need of suggestions for LED lighting on an 8 gallon nano tank that will grow corals. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Jaren45 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Ai prime, or if you want to go cheaper, the nicrew hyper reef leds on amazon are decent. Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Depending on the dimensions and what you are keeping, you could probably even get by with a PAR38 bulb for $30. https://www.amazon.com/KINGBO-Aquarium-Lighting-Spectrum-Saltwater/dp/B01M0PF72P/ Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Red Sea 50 could be a good option as well. miggt carry you into a slightly bigger (inevitable) upgrade 😛 Quote Link to comment

I used to have a 125 gallon one. I do have two old 30 gallons in storage though. Hmm?🤔. Lol! Quote Link to comment

It looks pretty cool with my live rock mixed in and the current light is an 18 watt LED with red, white, and blue spectrum. Its very bright. 10 hours ago, Jaren45 said: Ai prime, or if you want to go cheaper, the nicrew hyper reef leds on amazon are decent. Thanks I appreciate the suggestions! Quote Link to comment

Looked great! 1 Quote Link to comment
