I understand. I actually have a hypargero light too that I’d sell cheap, but you’d be better off with a new one since I modded the mount for mine to fit standard rimmed tanks. Honestly for a broke college kid (trust me I’ve been there) I’d pick up one of those hypargero lights and be done with it till you can afford your dream setup. For 70 bucks it’s a no brainer, the spectrum is really really nice, very pleasing to the eye, maybe as good as the kessils im using now. And certainly Way better than anything else in that budget range. Plus it grew corals for me and many others like crazy. I also like the touch controls and the simplicity of it. I think inappropriate reefer set up his 10 gallon nano tank with one, check it out on his YouTube Channel. the price is definitely right, you could always use it for a year or 2 and sell it for like 30 bucks less than you bought it for. Honestly I think the controlability of the ai lights is overrated and a potential downfall. Lighting in this hobby is 90% designed to sell at bloated pricing to reefers and 10% to growing coral IMO. Now that I have a bigger budget, I found spending 3x as much got me a fancy brand name and a sleek housing, but the same results with my corals.
