75G tall Light Question

BigT75 · 07/18/2017, 11:32 AM

Ok I have ATM A coralife T5 36" light with a 10000k and a Antic bulb idk if spelled that right anyways this light came with the tank iDK if this is good enough for Fowlr like I have ATM I will eventually have few things like zoas n bubble anemone but down the road ... So if I need to replace what y'all suggest in the lower price point range I'm not about going balls out on a light for high end corals etc . Thanks guys in advance kinda like to keep it $150 and under

Pretty much anything will work for a Fowler.. all you need is light to see the fish. However, if you are wanting to get corals later on as you stated, I would go with a Chinese black box setup. Provided you aren't wanting to keep LPS/SPS

I'm not sure how many you need, they do make a 300w dimmable unit, maybe you could get just one of those, someone else could better tell you.
