Light for FOWLR

JMcGarva · 10/31/2014, 04:56 PM

Hey all. So I decided to hold off with the corals for now. Being that this is my first tank, I want to be able to do everything correctly before putting in tons of money. I plan on getting the Reef Breeders Photon 48 whenever I go to the reef set up. But for now, I just want to do the live rock and some basic clown fish or something..

I was looking at the Current USA Orbit Marine LED light. For fish and rock only this light should work okay right??

Any light will do fine for just a fowlr.

That being said, I swear I said the same exact thing when I started 6 months ago.. and I've already been sucked into the world of corals. My advice would be save your $ (anything over $100) or just go for the better unit. Your future self will thank you.

I have two 3 foot models of that light for my 140. Nice light and light on the wallet. I highly recommend it.
