T5 fixture from Amazon 24” 4bulb. It’s on my build thread
Bulb combo front to back

Coral plus

That picture is about accurate with the color I see

Is that working good so far?

Only had it a few days but it’s helping corals I rescued recover quickly! I love it but will be adding leds for the moonlight and shimmer too
I would also recommend to ai prime 16hd or something similar as well

 

[40g Nano]

Ok

A t5 fixture
T5 hybrid
Reef breeders 24” photon

All of those are great! T5 hybrid would be the best. But you have to replace lights every 6-12 months. Reef breeders is a great alternative
