Fluval spec V lighting reef ready?

[Fishman007]

I am gonna be setting up a fluval spec V in a little bit and want to make it a reef.
The lighting doesnt seem to great, it is 7500k LEDs.
Wanted to know if these could grow zoanthids, polyps,leather, and mushrooms. And of anyone has any suggestions on what type of lighting please share them!

unfortunately, the lighting it comes with is about useless.

Yeah definitely won't grow corals, replace it with a par38 bulb and you should be good to go.

Yes that should work fine over the tank for most any corals.

I just got a 12w led par38 bulb from amazon for $25 with shipping, but it doesnt come with the clamp. :-(

I picked up a gooseneck for $25 and it should be delivered tomorrow.

$60 for the light and clamp is an awesome deal!

Actually, $25 for the lamp and $25 for the mount, so $50!!! lol

The par 38 bulb gives a nice color as well, very pleased with it.
