My Lighting broke!!

Sosuke · Feb 4, 2020

Hi I was turning on my lights this morning and my light kept going on really strong blues and flickering! I need to get a new light for my what is going to be a mostly SPS dominant tank the tank is only a 20 High, any recommendations for a good light?

What is your budget and type of light you are looking for? LEDs I assume?

Are Ocean Revive's in that price range? I have some people having success with those. I don't remember what corals they kept though. You can also keep an eye Facebook Marketplace and the marketplace here as well.

Thats a tight budget for your target. What's the foot print?

You will have to decide how many "bells and whistles" you want. Do you want ramping, moonlight, wifi?

WIFI is probably the number one thing on my list for a light

I would also take a look at Reefbreeders photon v2.

Tight budget for a SPS capable light. Might want to check the for sale forum on here.

the photons look really nice but I don't think I have 700 to put towards the light

I picked up a Euroquatics AP1 the other day. They are selling off their remaining stock. Seems like a great light for the 125 they ask for it. Doubt there’s any warranty though. And you need a computer to set it up. You can use a phone but it’s a lot harder.

Yea it is a tight budget but hope I'll be able to find a light soon as my current corals are in the dark

Forgot to mention this first of all thank you to everyone who has been helping me so far! Also I cannot do a hanging light fixture because of the awkward shape of the ceiling so I would have to go with a mount of some sort
