Light suggestions

[FishAddict87]

Hello,
It's been a while since I have posted. I am starting my first nano reef this weekend which is pretty exciting. I found a 7.5 rimless deep blue in my garage which I am getting drilled and then plumbing it to my 120. I have rocks which will be taken from my sump. I am at a loss for what to do for lights. I do not want to spend too much but I do want something that can ramp up and down but also have just moonlights on. I am not home for most of the day so I can either have it on a timer or it would be great if there was a built in timer on it. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Looking for something $100 or less.... This is a project tank that will be next to my main reef so I am using spare things laying around to get it running. Just missing a light

I've seen some decently gu-10 diy options too

I can vouch for these:

They work well. I would go for 2 over a 7.5.

Great! Thanks! I think I am going to go with the 2 ABI

Still above the price range I'm looking for. This light seems like it will do the job. Thanks!
