Lighting

[Rene42]

Was wondering what would be a good light for a high intensity anemone or coral in a 29 g tank ?

What’s your budget

 

[Rene42]

Cheap as possible lol. No more than 200 though

For cheap you can use something like a par38 with a lamp from Home Depot. But I would get a used AI Prime off the selling forums

If used a prime, if new a Kessil a80 would be a good start.

Look nice but I live in an apartment so can’t really hang anything from ceiling

This is what it looks like now

I’m in the same boat about not being able to hang but I did get a viparspectra 165w very cheaply off eBay and built an add on to my stand to hang from over my 29 g. It’s a great light. Everything loves it anemones and corals

I also use the viparspectra 165w on my 29g and all my corals seem to love it
