29 gallon lighting

[Jt18]

Looking to get a light for a 29 gallon. What are some good lights around 100 dollars that can grow moderate corals nothing crazy?

I would check out an AI Prime HD, I know its just a hair out of your budget but multiple websites have the slightly older model for like 20% off.

I have the current USA led over my 29 bio cube and I grow mostly softies but do have a few sps. They run for $100. It has lasted like 2 years now compared to all those cheap Chinese brands that I had to replace every like 3 to 6 months.

You’ve seen some spark growth with this? Because the light I have now is some cheep aqueon light and no corals have made it. Looks like a sweet light

Is this a 29 gallon standard or a 29 gallon cube?

Here is a pic of my monti frag, it is like a little over a year old, not crazy growth but pretty good I think.

Viparspectra 165w I have had mine on a 24x18x18 the same light for neard 3 years now.

it does grow montipora digi well but a lack of phosphate killed them.

They are growing back now though.

At 30” anything really since your not going for any high light demanding corals. But it’s always good to over kill that can be turned down for when you do decide if you want to try more light demanding corals. But for around the $100 mark I’d say any of the black boxes or a T5 2 or 4 bulb setup.

A little out of your price range but I ran this on a Maxspect 160watt. Used you could probably get one for about $200-$250.
