Lighting for a 20 gallon reef tank

[newyorkr212]

Hey guys, I am new to reefing. I have a 20 gallon tank. I am currently using a current Marine orbit for the tank. I have a few corals (frags). So far they are still alive. I was wondering is this a good light? If not, what would you recommend using that is not too expensive ?

Maybe for softies, leather, mushrooms,zoas. I think anything with a skeleton is going to crave more light than the fixture you have is going to output, in the long run. Look at the Noopsyche if you want LED, or a T5 4 bulb fixture. I think eith of those would let you get into the LPS world, maybe even some of the easier to keep SPS.

What tank is it? That light will be mostly fine for like a 20g long but not a 20 high.

It is a 20 gallon high. I am not happy with the light. Someone suggested the Noopsysche k7 PRO II. I am looking in to it now.

I am trying to enter to the giveaway for the light. I am new at reefing, all the advice is much appreciated.
Thank you. :)
