Best Reef lighting for Cardiff

DODGEworm · Nov 7, 2011

Looking for some input on which light is the best for my cardiff without having to get a chiller. Wanna keep a little of everything in there.
Thanks

I use a couple of PAR38 LED's on my Solana 25g. there are several different brands out there.

LED's would probably be your best choice due to high light output to wattage ratio (less heat in the water). There are plenty of options out there. Your tank is 24g?

Some examples of LED's
* DIY kits from www.nanotuners.com
* EcoTech Radion
* AI Sol
* A bunch others http://www.marinedepot.com/lighting_moonlight_moon_lunar_lamp__subindex-ap.html
