Hello all, I’m not sure which tank and lighting my aquarium is. I can’t find the owners manual.
How do I determine which lighting to go with? My tank is a 36 gallon measuring 30”L x 22”H x 16”W
On the Lighting It says dc 12v 10w 2452. Which Lighting/ bulb should I go with?
any help would be awesome. Thanks

Not sure what the question is but I doubt that 10w fixture will grow any corals or if you even want corals and if you do depends on price range anything from 100-900 for lightning

It’s an LED strip but unsure of brand. Finnex is a possibility

My bad, I was wondering if it would produce enough light for fish, rocks, anemone. The light fixture/tank is from Topfin.thanks.

If you want cheap look for Chinese black boxes orbit marines work for softys but won't keep a anemone alive

Thanks much, what wattage and voltage would you go with? Also, I just discovered corals and I think I’ll be going with a few of them as well.

Im planning on buying the loop i just to make sure it will work with anemone and hard corals if i decide to keep them
Well good luck that was my first light and ended up buying a Mars aqua after about 1 month of using it the controls are nice but its just not very powerful specially for sps

What would you recommend? Its just for a 20 gallon reef tank and this was the light recommended to me
i have the 18 inch current on my 30 g bowfront it is sufficient for this colt i have a 48" current on my 75 and it is enough for lps. please excuse the blue it is just going through the sunrise. i have a RBTA in my 75 and it seems to like it, maybe hides behind the rock in the shade. in a year or so i may upgrade.
