I have a 45 gallon tank with dimensions 48"L×12"W×18"H and would love some recommendations on a budget build. Plan for the tank is to have a mixed reef tank with other fish and cleanup crew. The main focus of this would be the best budget light I can use for this tank, preferably sub $200. Informantion on either wave makers or flow devices would be useful too. But for those who are feeling ambitious in helping a newcomer I'd love to hear recommendations on good beginner corals that don't break the bank as well as fish:) I'm excited to get started and hear some responses so thank you very much in advance!

The lights I have on my 90 are awesome! They are Hipargero 100 watt. You may need 2 though. They are about $150 each. You can get them either from the maker, or on Amazon.

Also, for your clean up crew, try Reef Cleaners.com. Just build your own rather than going by their recommendation.
