I've had my 5 gallon rolling for a while, it's had saltwater in it for over a month, some live rock for about three weeks, and a new circulation pump yesterday. Everything looks great, except for this tiny, flimsy led light that came with the tank. I said no corals for this tank but... I can't help myself. What is the cheapest possible light that would grow gsp or xenia? Money is kinda an issue because I'm only 15 and I'm not exactly made of gold;)

Does anyone have a suggestion? Is be much appreciated!
 
A Little 5 gallon, you could run a 38par bulb to grow that stuff nicely. They can go into any light socket (so find a cheap lamp or a shop light [home depot will have them for $8-$12, just ask a person for shop light]). These bulbs are about $90, but should last a good 5 years. RapidLED is a good place to get them.

I have a pvc stand to hold my bulbs over my tanks with the shop light and looks fine. Good luck!
