I had one Visparspectra on a 20G for year. $150 bucks.What size tank are you running? Thanks
Grew everything.
Top pic:
Then another added another Viparspectra,plus two Aqueon Halos when upgraded to 65g for 2 years. Additional $300. $450 total. Grew everything.
Bottom pic:
Then added 3 T5 in current upgrade 180g.
1-Antinic 420nm.
1-Blue Plus 460nm.
1-Day light 10,000k.
Another $200 for 3 individual 48” Strips off Amazon. Tubes from LFS $100.
So, for $750 CDN, I light hybrid 180g.
If you like controllability, any of the major player brand names are a better bet, but, you’re talking about at least $300 per light and as high as $1200 per light in CDN.
Corals dont care much about controls, they rather have consistency than a ramp, or lighting storm, or clouds.
