My new light fixture
So I would like to get myself a nice but affordable light fixture for my new 40 breeder.
I am not sure the difference between LED and T5 in terms of prices and LED strength but I read it's far more expensive. I love the moonlight color some people have which id loce to have. I also want lights that can get the true color of the corals out, it seems actinic is for this purpose? What lights can I get that aren't $150 |

Lighting is expensive your best bet is to find something used and maybe you will find something under 150

You get what you pay for. If you buy cheap lights , you'll be buying better ones shortly afterwards.

For a 40 breeder.. Is 4 bulbs enough? Heard 6 can burn my corals I plan to get many diff types of corals like sps this time around.
Also, what do they come with that costs 200? Any recommendations I can look for? |
