Lighting

[leon1972]

Ok guys. I haven't decided yet on led or t5 yet but I was wondering if I could get some recommendations. I want barebones to keep it cheaper. When I say bare bones I mean no extra options. Only lighting. It needs feet to sit on the tank as I can't hang it but other than that as few extras as possible. So far the cheapestvim finding in this category is about 300 bucks. Is this the best pricing I'll find already?

If you need cheaper, than go T5. LED is cheaper in the long run though when you consider bulb replacement

Is this for a 75 gallon tank?

Yup. I'm trying to find it again but I saw a 6 bulb 324 watt fixture for 300

So far this is the best Fixture I can find the cheapestvim anyone see anything wrong with this fixture? What kind of corals could I keep in a 75 gal 2 ft deep w this?

You could keep anything you want with that light. I use the same one on my 90.

That is probably one of the best T5 Fixtures on the market. Pick one up, put it over your tank, and call it a day. With the 6 bulb version, you can keep pretty much anything that is offered in the trade

Unfortunately due to my upcoming vacation to purto Rico the lights will have to wait a few months!!!!! They may even be set back longer by a chiller. Let's see how my water does first. Doesn't matter. Phosphates still at 5ppm. Think they still leeching out of rock. Nitrates still at 20 too. Ggggrrrrr. I WANT CORALS!!!! Hahaha
