Which lights to get

[ray72484]

Since I am planning my 135 build I need to know what is a good led light that doesn't cost a fortune. My tank is 5'x18"x31" I was thinking of making my own but I have no idea what to get. I am not sure if I will have corals or not. If i do the only ones that I will have will be zoos but I will have anemones

It all depends on your budget. I'm guessing you want leds. I have a 135 as well and I will be eventually using my hydra 26s on it. They are great lights. Beautiful coloration and spectrum and they grow corals period. Now if you don't want to spend $349 for one light and have to buy 2 or 3 of them. Then get yourself a current USA Irvin marine loop or pro led strip and you'll be set They don't have the strongest light comparable to a hydra 26 or 52 or kessils or radions but they are one of the best led strips you can get.

I can't find any prices on that marine loop one
