Reef capable led for a 5g will be a hard one to find for $70
Unless you find something used

You can cop a chinese black box for under $100 new off ebay, and have a pretty capable light. If you can budget a little more, you can get with Mike Herman and get one of his sbox line of china boxes and have a better layout and spectrum, with nicer fans etc, and uv added. A standard 16" light should fit well over that tank.

I'd be looking at a PAR 38 bulb....you can now get them with varying numbers or LEDs. I'm just not sure what a 5 gallon tank would need.
