I got a 15g cube. Its a fluval flex more specifically. I plan to keep sps in it since I have all the equipment leftover except strong lights. I'm running a kessil a80 tuna blue and its definitely way too weak for what I plan to keep. I was wondering what good budget light would be good for putting out 200+ par and would be on the cheaper side (preferably below 140)

smatfarm 95w, literally a radion for $135
 
Do you know where you can buy them? For some reason there's none in Canada. Id have to ship it from the states
For the Noopsyche lights you have to order them directly from china. I’ve ordered from their site a few times.

I actually just won one of the K7 mini lights that is supposed to ship today from them. I was considering buying that same tank to put it on. I assume that was the $100 tank? If so how do you like it?

The fluval flex tank? I really like it but you definitely need upgraded pumps and more flow

Oh sorry I was thinking about the innovative marine tank. They just released a new 15g cube and it’s selling for $100, and I’ve seen several forum members who got it.

This is a couple weeks after setup. I have it set very white because I’m old school but the shimmer is awesome.

What do you plan on keeping? You could just add a second a80 if you want. I also tend to take par values with a grain of salt when it comes to heavy blue lights as blue lights of a lower par may be just as powerful as a higher par light that has the colors more spread out across the spectrum.

A80s are a bit pricy for me even... I wanna keep some sps again mainly. I kept acros and montis after 1y of reefing then I had to quit cause I moved. Setting up a tank again and I need higher par since I sold my radion and spent it on cooking equipment
