Lighting suggestions?

[tyler1503]

Hi everyone. Just set up a new tank and would love some suggestions for lighting.
It's a 1ft cube and I'm looking to keep LPS and softies. I'm wanting to keep the price down too.

All suggestions are appreciated :)
Thanks!

Go check out SBreeflights. They have a neat little nano lamp.

Thanks! I'll look into them :)

I found second hand AquaRay LED strips for cheap. They seem to have good reviews, some people are saying they're even better than Radions.
I've searched on over 10 different sites, but CANNOT find the dimensions! Does anyone know how long these fixtures are?

I think they are close to 24" and about 12 watts. (If you search the forum, there was another thread on these flights recently.)

Hmmm...it might look a bit weird with two 24" lights on a 12" tank :/
Any other suggestions for a low budget light?

Look into par 38 bulbs.

I had a par38 on my 9 gal nano cube.. and loved it. corals and everything did really well.
