long and skinny light

[link81]

looking for a light for my display fuge, It's about 24"x4.5".
I'll be keeping some easy low light softies in it, (think Xenia, leathers, and zoo's, maybe shrooms) Will also have some rooting macro algae. Anyone know of a 12k-ish light I can use? Cheap Chinese non-disable is perfectly fine. Doesn't need to grow anything fast at all, or even make it look that good,

I have a separate sump area lit by a Kessil H380 for cheato that is the primary means of nutrient export. Main display is lit by radions, this is just a small, goofy tank that I can have fun with, and grow some things I don't want in the main display.

Look into Reefbrite. They do full actinic, 50/50 and all whites

Throw a 24” single t5 on there and there cheap to . Amazon

Reefbrite lumi lite is a high quality light built in the USA. I have two of the 50/50 and they are great

I like the reef brite, a little steep though..

I've though of that, ant idea of a good all arround bulb? I think the ATI blue plus will be too blue

*edit* looks like the ATI coral plus is perfect

LED strips or a T5 bulb or two.

21led USA makes some lights that'll work, I have one of their bars and they're decent.

If I had only one t5 bulb , then ATI aqua blue gets my vote .

ended up finding a "glo" brand single t5 with parabolic reflector.
Has some kind of bluish bulb in it now, but will be ordering a new one in the near future.
Found it local for 25 bucks, OK in my book.


that reminds me, I really need to update my build thread .
