Lighting for a budget nano tank

[Kirschy17]

Hey guys,

I might get a 60l/15g nano tank that i might turn into a small saltwatertank. I plan on keeping it simple as my younger brother might care for it with me together. Thing is im on a tight budget. As we would like to keep some corals we need a decent lighting.
Id like to use something offbrand thats cheap. Ideally i was hoping for something under 50-100$

Also im from europe so im better off with buying advice than actual links as i cant get the same stuff here that u guys from the us can get.

Thanks in advance, michael

I would check amazon for your country and see if a black box is about $99 or less. Not sure if your budget is Euros or USD. I would guess they sell similar stuff to amazon.com /.ca (I am located in Canada). Anything cheaper is going to be really cheap and the black box can at least be upsized to a larger tank in the future and won't have much limitations as far as to what it can grow. While they are generally made cheaply I would have more confidence recommending this vs a cheaper light that may not even last a year.

Look for the Current Orbit Pro (The one with the dome LED’s not the IC or the Orbit Marine, I just purchased one from eBay for under 80USD and it comes with controller.

REMEMBER is the PRO, the other fixtures have flat LED
