I have a 20 gallon fowlr tank going, after i move next year i was hoping to get into corals but I know my basic led light that came with the tank isn’t strong enough, what would be good for a 20 gallon for soft corals mostly interested in green star polyps zooanthids mushrooms and xenia. preferably a light under 150$

There are a couple black box leds on amazon that would work well for you. If you're willing I would try something like t5's or one of those lights as they will be cheaper and work just as well.

What size ( dimensions) 20?
There is 20, 20l, 20h.
Each will slightly determine what lights are available and what " format".

Typical 20 is 24-ish" wide. 17" deep 12-ish wide.
Light like this is a possible choice for such a tank.
24-36" size


Rebranded micmol AFAICT.
Maybe some spectral differences.
NOT waterproof.
Almost 3x the " power" (60w) of the Fluval. At least on paper.
4 Channels only though. Would be helpful to give nm's;

  • 28 - Cold White (Channel A)
  • 56 - Deep Blue (Channel B)
  • 28 - Royal Blue (Channel C)
  • 8 - Warm White (Channel D)
  • 8 - UV (Channel D)
  • 8 - Red (Channel D)
  • 8 - Green (Channel D)
