WTB.... Small led setup

[asbauto]

I'm looking to upgrade my 28 gallon hqi cube to leds. Does anyone have anything that will support a carpet anemone. Note: on a budget because I don't like sleeping in the garage. Thanks in advance

What is your budget like?

I would like to stay under $150

Just my opinion a 28g is not big enough for a carpet nem. I know they fit but the bio load is heavy and you will have a hard time keeping parms in check. i am guessing you have a haddoni carpet like the one in your avitar? I have 3 with 2 saddle back clowns in a 100g and cannot keep my N03 under 10. As far as LEDs Since the Haddoni does not require crazy strong light as long as you get 3w leds you will be fine. Do you have the lid on this tank? If not a d120 would do it fine. Maybe even some reefbrights

A par38 bulb should suffice. Check our Coral Compulsion.

I agree Sirrealism but its only temporary. I had to nurse him back from being completely bleached, I was afraid he would die and nuke the 150. But for price of mind he is getting an upgrade to a 180 within a few weeks and the cube might be a bta tank

Asbauto. Glad to hear it. I did the same thing with my first one. I was all excited because I had never seen that color in A carpet. White with just a hint of green. When mine started to become healthy he looked like the one in your avitar. When he got all of his color back he was much darker.
