since you are atm fish only, you might want to consider a cheap "fun" light..
Note it isn't 300 Watts ..
1/2W diodes but at least lensed 90 degrees so it has some punch for deeper tanks..
At $100 each your investment is fairly low..
Amazon product ASIN B07KLJLWZP
w/ 3 you sacrifice power for functions as compared to the larger black boxes which honestly are only 120-ish real watts anyways..but not by much.. Est real led watts at 100-ish..
338 1/2W led prob. run at around .3W.. =101W..
ACTUALLY if their hort lights are similar in design:
People often confuse lensing w/ power.. ;)
Example is I have a flashlight here w/ one small LED and at 3ft I get 900LUX..
15PAR.. yea low but it's ONE little diode w/ a very narrow lens..
If I put 335 of those together... well you get the picture..
Biggest catch is the listing of 5000 hours..meaning, if not a misprint.. basically a disposable light..
Really about a year and 1/2..or so.. depending.
