Light for 75 gallon

Let me add my tank has cheap lighting.

I started the first 5.5 months with a fluval Aquasky led 36-48in ($120) --- It grew coraline and leathers. I didn't need an expensive light starting my tank, I didn't need it till I was ready for stocking corals.
I upgraded by adding a Marine and Reef 2.0 36-48 ($175)

So less than $300 and I am LPS anenome and soft coral capable. If you want to save money the first few months while tank is getting started, before you add corals, there is nothing wrong with a cheaper light to get started. You can add to it later or replace it as funds become available. You could get 1 99 chinese LED, and get 1 more down the road, or even get 3 and grow SPS. Just have a plan for upgrading and start saving.
 
Yeah that's what I'll have to do is just get one now and try to get a better one down the road I do have 2 months
 
Thanks for the help again I'm just going to go with one of those
 
For what it's worth there are some pretty good deals on the equipment for sale forum here right now including a T5 fixture that's pretty sweet for $235 shipped and one or two LED systems that are also pretty good deals. Make someone an offer YOU can afford! [emoji6][emoji106]
