Hello fellow (in my case soon to be) reefers!
Im from a beautifull set of islands in the middle of the Atlantic, the Azores, and i'm glad to enter your community.
Im just getting started with saltwater aquariums.
What im going for is, like the title states, a low cost system that can support a Peacock Mantis Shrimp and some low light soft corals. Its my understanding that these two go very well together, as these particular mantis doesnt like light very much.
This would be set up in 50 gallon tank (100 x 41 x 47). I would try to aquascape it a bit like the picture bellow (mushroom type of structure) so that the corals can get maximum light as the mantis gets maximum shade.
Would im having trouble with is determining what would be the best low cost ligthing option for this (very) particular situation / setup.
Any help would be greatly aprecciated!
(Forgive my english)
