I'm doing some research, working on setting up my first nano reef tank. The tank is a 14g with a 10" x 20" footprint. I'm looking for decent lighting but don't want to completely break the bank.
I'm very happy with the Satellite fixture I use on my 65g planted tank, and was planning to purchase the 20" 2 x 40W fixture with moonlight for my 14g - I'm hoping this will be enough to keep some soft corals, I know it's not enough for hard corals.
I was researching tonight (read: surfing) and found This fixture on Aquatraders. It's a MH/PC combo but it's rediculously cheap, so I thought it best to post and ask if anyone's ever used one of these lights or knows if they're any good - I'm wary of purchasing something online without reading a few reviews first! I'm not even sure it would fit, as it's 11.5"W x 17"L, but it comes with a 'hanging kit' so I assume it can be suspended above the tank if needed.
Would this fixture be better than the Satellite, or should I stick with what I know?
Thanks in advance
