Lighting a 24 inch 20 gallon High?

poojan · Apr 20, 2018

I'm trying to see what might be a solid lighting solution for a 20 gallon high (24.25" x 12.5" x 16.75"). I don't really wanna buy bulbs every few months so I've been looking more in the led space. I'm looking to keep a few soft and lps corals. I've been trying to keep my budget for the light at around 150$.
Any ideas what might be a good solution?

I have the same 20 gallon tank, going to set it up for my daughter. I will be using a chinese black box from amazon or ebay. Thinking the Viparspectra or Ocean Revive and there's always the Mars Aqua
Also if you do a search on this forum for chinese black box or best black box led you will find all the info you're looking for and then some.

Do you know if there is any practical mounting solutions available for those types I don't really have the ability to hang one from the ceiling specifically something that would allow me to mount it to the edge of the tank cause I don't have a hood either.
