Improve lighting on a pico tank
I am looking to improve lighting on my 3-gallon pico tank. Now, I have a cheap Florescent light there, either a 9W or 18W. I have nothing in this tank which requires a lot of light. If I put a small RTBA in there, what kind of lighting do I need? Any recommendation? Thanks.

Put in some L.E.D's or a nanotuners L.E.D bulb fixture.

+1 on nanotuners light
Have a par38 led on my 4 gallon. Super nice bulb and cant beat the price for the power.
