Hi everyone!
I just built a 5 gal pico tank and trying to find the right lights for it.
There is a nice variety of lights for square pico tanks but I'm looking for lights that will work for a long (not square) aquarium (see pic).
I'm planning on hosting hammer, zoa, GSP, Xenia, and maybe few other corals.
I would love if the light would be able to support an anemone!
The other things that are important to me is that it will look good, I'm not a fan of the lights that will hide the entire top of the aquarium (see first example).
I can work with lights that looks like a spot, or even the a80.
If there were (or there is that I can't find) strip LEDs that will be enough for this tank It would be the best! I can stick it in the existing light fixture and it will look awesome!
Examples:
What I DON'T like (hiding the entire tank from above):
Amazon.com: Current USA Orbit Marine LED Reef Aquarium Light | Wireless Light and Pump Controller | Loop App - Bluetooth| Fits Aquariums 36"-48" : Everything Else
Shape of light fixture that I can live with:
Amazon.com: NICREW 30W Reef LED Aquarium Light, Dimmable Marine LED Light with Dual Channel Wired Controller, Nano Fish Tank Light for Saltwater Coral Fish Tanks : Pet Supplies
Light that I hope will be enough to support the corals I want and anemone (not sure if the light would be evenly distributed):
Amazon.com: Kessil Tuna Blue A80 LED Light KSA80-TB : Pet Supplies
Another option that I consider although will not look the best for this tank:
Amazon.com: Aquarium Lights – Aquarium LED Light 30Watts（±5%） Saltwater Lighting with Touch Control and 3W/5W LED Chips for Coral Reef Nano Fish Tank : Pet Supplies
And a picture of my tank with dimensions:
Thanks everyone!
