Lighting on a Budget? Is that even a thing?

[Lineatus]

I’ve been recently been getting back into reefing more after some burn out and have been considering making some upgrades to my tank.

currently, for lighting, Ive been using the stock light from the TMC micro habitat 15 and have been having reasonable success with coral growth.

however this light does seem rather small for my 64 litre display, only being a 9000k strip. Would it be advisable for me to make a change? If so are there any actually decent lights for this size of a tank that wont bankrupt me? I’m a student so my budget is rather low

Guess that would depend on exactly what your budget is and what you'd like to put in the tank.

Good point, I was rather vague. £40 would be my preferred budget but would go a little higher if necessary. I’m not planning on stocking the tank with corals with light requires higher than an easy sps, seriatopora for example.

Very low budget... one of these might be ok:
