Lighting recommendation
Can someone recommend a lighting fixture for a 30 gal FOWLR tank ? I would eventually like to have some corals in there....
Thanks !!!! |

My budget is @ 200...honestly I have no clue what kind of corals I would want...I am totally new to saltwater but I don't want to restrict myself either with lights so I can have different options later....are any of these ok ? Or any other suggestions ? I do like the idea of something with a stand though...

I think this might be the best for you...although a little more thatn 200
The nova does not have ind reflectors and that is one of the best features of t5's the following tek fixtures do have the ind reflectors: http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_...ight_Fixtures/
