Hello! Looking to change my lighting to something great without killing my pocket just shut down my 40 breeder and my 5 gallon is my last step in the hobby.

But anyways mostly have mushrooms,the xenia, frog spawn,brain and a clam. Nothing wrong with the light I have now just think if I wanna keep monti or very easy sps my light may not be good enough.

Not trying to go pass 200 less is more my option. Was going to try metal halide even though the heat issue (150w odysea) had a couple of there products with
No issues people clam to have.

I just finished building my own led light for me 14g biocube. It's nice because I put what ever color combo of leds I wanted per channel and they are dimmable. It was around $125 for the drivers/ heatsink/ and leds. No hard to do either and rapid led was extremely helpful if I had any issues or questions.

Looks interested also liked the prime but it's going to cost like 200 something for everything.

I recently started a new build and found a gem of a light that I LOVE! The tank hasn't been wet long enough for corals so I can't give my personal experience with coral growth, however there are lots of great reviews for it.

I'm talking about the Aquamaxx Nemolight Nano 18W LED fixture. For only $90 (Marine Depot has it on sale right now for $79), it's an amazing light.

Feel free to check out my Nano Hawaiian Reef build thread and follow along for updates. I have a few photos up with the light on my tank. Let me know what you think!

Definitely look into this light!
