Light for 20 gallon

gstty · Jun 24, 2023

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good but cheaper light for 20 gallon. I plan to get some corals. Mostly soft, so something that would be good for that. Are the Nicrew lights any good? Im looking at the 100 watt nicrew.

Nicrew is decent but I prefer Noopsyche. Contact @Zach B about the Noopsyche Mini.

Prism II LED Light Fixture - Marine

Thinner. Lighter. Smarter. The new thinner and lighter AquaMaxx Prism II controllable full HD spectrum LED fixture is created from 100% recycled aluminum. Its brushed silver, ultra-slim profile design gives it an aesthetic edge over the competition, and its updated external smart controller...

Look at this one, I have one and would be good up to hammers and birds nest.

I just tried and loved the quanta bars. Worth a look into. Fixed spectrum and output like t5's

20 long or 20 tall.
For tall a 12 blade grow. Not sure how much your willing to invest. 20 long I'd say same thing but in the 21" length. $150 to $200 depending on which one. With this light you could grow anything you want with in reason I'm sure. I have a mix of stuff in my 30g and it all seems to be quiet happy. Got some frags off a local guy and he threw in a digi frag for free. I was worried it wouldn't do well but it hasn't lost color and it about double in size now. Still microscopic lol
