Lighting 14g Oceanic cube

[PeterErc]

Hello,

Looking for lighting to fit inside the hood of a 14g oceanic bio cube. Twenty buck no scratch find

I have a bunch of diy, but with todays technology and cheap enough fixtures I am interested in seeing whats around.

Not sure yet on stocking, Rosebta, zoa, rics..

Echinophyllia mayhem, a dozen or more 3 eye frags may the fastest growers win.

budget is 150 tops and would like to be way lower

Not afraid to remove from housing if doable, most likely need to for it to fit.

The Noopsyche has good reviews, remove the lenses and get better spread

The Kessill a80 can be had used, market is flooded, spread would be a spot light? Two a80?

I have a couple of the glowrium but they seem to be discontinued.

Smatfarm have and not a fan, to dull

I know, remove the top and put 150w halide

Any thoughts on a budget light with crisp spectrum not overly blue?

This was my old 12g aquapod, bryopsis and all

Thanks everyone

I would suggest to find any light at 50-60 watts. (that kessil by comparison is only 15 watts). I bought a brand new jeaboa 60 watt light last December for 95$, and it works pretty good too, so I think you can easily find something new or used in your budget, just stick to about 50 ish watts. Nicrew, Vivarspectra, Popbloom, Smatfarm, Jebao are all lower-budget lights with good reputations on this forum. Good luck

Thanks Jim, I will check out the Jebao and look at the others again

I pulled a bunch of diy LED out of the attic and sat at the kitchen table. Messed around some then stuck it in the garage.

I have Glowrium on another tank, but they were discontinued. Found this which I believe to be the same
