I just started cycling my tank Thursday 6/23. I've got live rock. And some hitchhikers that I've found. (Some kind of red crab and a few mushrooms) poor guys... I've been checking my parameters everything so far is good no spikes yet. Husband brought home a jbj nano cube 24 from a friend. Hood isn't working right dimmers won't turn on or cooling fans and I'm sure the bulbs haven't been changed ever. I'd like to mod the hood in time. Till then what kind of lighting will I need that's (here it comes) affordable $100 and under if that's possible that will get me by till I can get something better? And please what are each color light for blue , red, green, white and do you need all of them? Also wattage spectrum what are the needs of a 24g coral tank? It's allot but I am having trouble wrapping my head around lighting needs. Thanks!! :eek1::hmm5:
Please help with lighting info. Clear info please as. Be easy I'm new.

What kind of coral tank? mushrooms, leathers, LPS, SPS
This will help narrow down how much light you need. In addition to LED's, T5's could be an option as well or metal halide. Also, you may want to consider saving up to buy a quality light fixture now instead of buying another light down the road. Good luck just my 2 cents.
