Lighting for Pico Reef

shrimped · Apr 23, 2019

Hey I’ve been thinking to get a small 2g cube or 7g cube (most likely a 7g) from ADA.
I’m not looking for crazy growth just:
Controllability
Enough blues
Capable of keeping lps and some lower light sps alive

I’m going between the Zetlight za1201 or Aquaknight a029 but unsure which to go for. Any other suggestions would be great but I’m trying to keep this build to a budget

12w and 23w here. Just need a normal screw in fixture or gooseneck.

Thanks for the suggestion I will probably go with that.
I have one of these lamp things at home do you think it would work with the bulb? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UV41X4W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_X9XVCbDMGG4MA

The only worry I would have is if the bulb would fit in there being a pretty wide unit. I would just measure it and look at the dimensions of that LED and see if you think it would fit.

Got it thank you!
