Looking for a good light that won't break the bank. I'm starting with a FOWLR but may eventually attempt reefing. So just looking for a good LED light to add some color an ambiance to my tank. Thanks in advance!
 
Go with the Current Orbit Marine, great light even for low light corals. When you start getting in to corals you will want to upgrade. I had the Orbit Marine and had the blue set at 100% and the white at 46%. The light also runs cool. If you go to my build thread in my signature you and see what they look like
 
I suggest the current orbit also, how deep is your tank, they are not really powerful enough for deep tanks. For the fowlr definitely go with a blue/white combo instead of full spectrum.
 
okay thanks. tank is 18" deep. I've been told about the current orbit before so seems like a good one to roll with for my tank. thanks guys!
