I put this tank together on the cheap by buying stuff on CL. Just so you know this tank is a tiny 5 gallons. I don't particularly like the look of the light high above the tank so my lighting solutions are the kind that sits on top of tank cover. Tank is next to my sofa and is at eye level which I like because I can watch it as I do other things there. Big benefit is that I don't see the LED which is annoying, causing me to squint. Anyways, I have 2 Marineland LED bars for whites and 2 older model Wavepoint 6 inch blue LEDs. Now I got these at great prices but I would not recommend them if you are buying new. Actually one of my blue Wavepoint stopped working about a month ago and I'm not going to replace it because they cost too much for what it is. So I've been researching a solution for my tank. I've just about decided on the Kessil A80. Based on the specs, one A80 should be enough for this small tank. If it doesn't provide wall to wall light coverage since it'll sit just an inch from the surface of the water, I may get another A80 for it. So that's what I recommend, Kessil A80. Not the cheapest solution, but it's guaranteed to grow corals.
