Like the title says. I have a Fluval Chi 5.5 gallon tank that I want to turn into a pico. I have Everything I need except lighting. What would be a good light on the cheap.
 
do kats light I agree. the modded ones are bright enough and low heat its good starter.
 
The mini coralife t5 bulbs die out super fast. I say get the skkye led. They sell it on drsfosterandsmith, both the 4 watt and 8 watt. It has separate cords so you can put whites and blues on timers. Best bang for the buck. No more than 100 i think.

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before

  • Something else (see my comments in the thread)
