Inexpensive lighting for 20long?

[neddog]

I'm trying to help out a new reefer they have a 20 long 30" I think.
What's a good light that's inexpensive they will be keeping lps and softies.
Trying to stay under or around $100 thanks

A Par38 LED bulb would work but it wouldn't give full coverage; mine have an 18"x18" spread. I guess one could keep the low light stuff on the edges.

Thanks I looked into that and 2 would be ideal but they are low on cash. I saw a 30" coralife t5 at petco for $119 that might be the best bet.

Yes led but they are all blue corals pop under them. They have a regular one that is cheaper but less leds.
