Hey Guys.



just put in an order for a 120x30x30 Tank
Planning to do a fish only tank..
What do you guys suggest for lighting? I know its Fish only but I will still like it too look good..
 
I think the real question is how much are you looking to spend?
 
I guess not over the tip but right in the middle pricing wise would work..
I am assuming if I am not doing corals I dont need to go to crazy ?
 
You could get something like an Odyssea T5 fixture and swap the bulbs out. You could go with Current Orbit Marine or SB Reefs or black box. Actually, I used to have a Nicrew LED light on a freshwater tank that looked awesome. That might be your cheapest bet.
 
Buy 3 Chinese LED light, the total cost is less than $200 for fish only. Cheap and looking good.
 
Did you settlle on lights? I will bet that down the road you will want to add a few corals so invest ahead and cry once....again
