14 gal nano lighting

Hope_L · 08/12/2015, 08:09 PM

Please bear with me I'm brand new not only to this forum but also to the hobby. I currently have a 14 gal cube masters nano. It currently has the factory bulbs which appear to be mostly discontinued or difficult to find. The white bulbs are t5 12" 8w bulbs, the blue job that it came with just says illuminator blue, I am thinking of trying to go LED with this tank. I have looked at several options, but I am at a complete loss! I originally was just going to do blue and white LED's at that point I was considering this

However now I'm thinking I may be able to go full spectrum for around the same price. Please keep in mind I'm not very tech savvy when it come to this and that's why I'm reaching out for help I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum, idk if I should have posted in the fit section or not.

I saw this on eBay for full spectrum pleases let me know what you think

So do you think I could make something like that fit into my hood? Also where would I get one? And is it just blue and white or is it full spectrum?

Well I ordered the light from reef radiance and apparently they no longer carry them and they weren't sure how I was able to even purchase it from their site. Does anyone else have any ideas about affordable lighting for my nano????
