New Light Recommendations

[thegrayreefer]

Hello all!
I have a 10 gallon aquarium that I am thinking of getting a new light for and was wondering if you all had any recommendations. The tank has no coral, though I might add some green star polyps, and is inhabited by a Peppermint Shrimp and 2-3 Dwarf Blue Leg hermit crabs.

This is not the cheapest option, but I just switched out lights on my 10 gallon. I didn't think the light I had was sufficient for the easy coral I have in the tank. I have zoas, palys, a couple acan, candy canes and some xenia!

I was using a Current USA Orbit Marine, smallest size (around $100). I replaced with an AI Prime 16HD (around $220).

It looks much better with the AI 16HD.

As far as I can tell, gsp will grow ok under a decent fish tank light, no reef specific light needed. I had some doing fine in a qt tank with very old t8 bulbs.
