Recommendations for Lighting

[Charles Belisle]

I just purchased a 220 Gallon acrylic tank; currently the light bar for the tank is just a 48" light strip nothing special. The tank is 72L x 26W x 30H. I am looking for lighting that will support coralline algae growth and a couple anemones (for hosting clowns); without breaking the bank. Wanted to have corals - but was informed the cost of balancing chemicals for them would be very costly and hard work on 220 gallon tank. Looking for lights that have white / blue timer modes. Looking for recommendations on lighting options without speeding too much money for what is needed. (don't want to over purchase for what is needed). Thanks

A couple of the cheap Chinese black boxes from Ebay would work just fine and not to much $$.

Heard ocean revive aren't too bad I have a couple mars aqua which work fine but if I had to do it over probably woulda paid little more for ocean revive or something similar still searching for new lights myself looked noopsyche which seem ok just not many reviews reefbreeders seem decent just little more pricey.

For your size tank around 6 candles should do the trick
