Lighting

What's the cheapest LED lighting I could set up for a 10 gallon reef tank? At the very least I want to be able to keep frogspawn or hammer corals. Any ideas?

over kill for a 10g. they will grow SPS in a 30 cube or 2 in a 55.
used current has the best controller and pretty blue glow. marine land but the controller is Meh, they may have improved it.
A used t5 2 3 or 4 tube but heat. A single power compact cuz no boby wants them since t5 came out.

So best cheap coolest timer ramp sweet blue glow, current orbit marine.
if you find a JBJ unibody on ebay get it. no timer no ramp. lil overkill but controllable.

The 165w from Mars may be over kill, but it's affordable and dimmable. And can be used on a larger tank in the future.

cuz we always upgrade

I got my 48" current used for $50 and ramp up to the t5.
