My LED fixture
Picked up some LED lights on craigslist for $70. They are the
SKKYE Light - Tablet 30 Watt Model 6201. These are the stats: Watts: 30 Daylight Spectrum: 10K Moonlight: 465nm Tank: 20g tall What are the shortcomings of this light? Will it be a good choice for LPS and softies, perhaps SPS down the road? Thanks. |

I'm not familiar with this type of light but if you get a PAR meter to measure that would tell you what type of corals you could keep. In my local Reef club you can borrow one but there is quite a list. Apex monitors also have a par module I believe.

After checking their website this looks like a 28 bulb light with four moon lights. 1 watt per led for the 10k lights. In a 20g tank these should be good for lps and soft corals. It's a nice light as far as looks are concerned. For 70 dollars it's a good start and you can always upgrade later if you want something more!

I don't know about that. I'm sure others that are more experienced will chime in. |

Seems weak to me, I suspect zoas and other low light demanding corals will be okay, but nothing that needs strong light like anemones, clams or SPS corals.
