What’s the best light for a ten gallon reef? I would prefer LEDs but don’t know what to buy
 
What type of corals are you wanted to keep and whats your budget? Dimensions of the tank?

It’s a standard ten gallon tank 20 inches long x10 front to back x 12 tall. I would like to keep sps corals, and possibly some anemone( I know they are not recommended for this size tank). I would like to keep the cost under 200 dollars if possible, but less is always better. It will also have to be able to fit under my canopy which is 8 inches from the top of the tank to the top of canopy

My research has lead me to the AI prime hd for my 10. Don't have it yet but that's my plan.
 
See if you can find a used Kessil, Radion or AI hydra/prime. If not, you can go with the lights in the attachment. There is a sponsor on here that swears by them and grows all different corals from softies to SPS.

The light in the link looks a little bit too big for a ten gallon. I think it would work on a bigger tank. Do you trust buying a used light, such as the AI prime from Amazon? Also, which light would be the best if I ever wanted to upgrade my tank? Sorry for all the questions, just curious!

Could that be used on a larger tank if I ever wanted to upgrade? What do you like about it?
 
Also has anyone ever used the Kessil a80 Tuna blue? Does it work well and is it powerful?
