Lighting for 8 ft frag tank

[Iam_Mitch]

Starting an 8ft x 3ft x 12in frag tank. What lighting would you choose keeping a moderate budget in mind? It’ll be a mixed frag tank - mainly softies and LPS but will have a SPS as well. Looking for affordable but will get the job done.

Define “moderate”. LEDs, bulbs or some combination thereof.

If it were me i would go t5 or led light bars. On my 8x2 frag tank i am using 2 sets of led light bars(1 daylight, 1 actinic, 2 blue). If it were 3 ft wide i would add 2 more.

Mine are unbranded from China. Took a chance ordering them and have been thrilled with results. They look identical to the orphek. Whether they have the same LEDs inside I cant say, but same look and same specs as orphek, but it was about 1/3 the cost.

Hi! Do you have a website? I searched but only came up with an Amazon seller, but not sure if it’s the same source. Thanks!
