Lighting suggestion for 30 gallon nano tank.

[kalebos]

Hi, I am currently preparing my first reef tank! I only need one last piece of equipment, the lights. My tank is 30 gallons and the dimensions are 30x13.5x18. I plan on getting a variety of different types of corals except for SPS (or not for a loooong time at least). I've gotten a little overwhelmed trying to buy the correct light. Can I please have some suggestions for a light that is good for a growing a variety of different corals and doesn't cost me $300?

An AI prime is a great option

2x ai primes. That’s a big bread for just one.

I'm using ocean revive on my 29g and is working well

Here are some options to look into:
Reef breeders lights
Ocean revive
2 ai prime 16 HD’s
2 kessil a160we’s
2 orphek OR3s

Take a look at the Orphek OR3.
1 blue plus and 1 reef day plus and you would be golden.
These things throw some light with great colors.

Take a look at the Orphek OR3.
