Hey everybody, I have a quantine tank that houses my clowns and a few corals I’m waiting to put into the display, dose anyone know of some cheap lights that would work for this setup?
 
You do need a light over a quarantine tank if that quarantine tank houses corals. A cheap clip-on LED is probably a good option for temporary lighting, though it's not going to be especially pretty.
 
You dont say the size of tank or length of time you plan to QT. If more than a few days and i would suggest getting a legit light that can support corals. A viparspectra, smatfarm, noopsyche, etc are all relatively cheap and can support corals just fine for whatever length of time u plan to have them in there.

Oh sorry, it’s a 20 gal 2 feet by one foot and I mainly have ugly mushrooms in their that I don’t care a whole lot about but it makes the tank look nice, I ask for a new cheap light becuase my old one died on me

Gotcha. Ya the ones i mentioned would work fine but way overkill for a 20g and probably not what you would want. If it were me i would probably find the cheapest reef spectrum light i could find on amazon that was 30-40 watts....but i like the cheap lights
