Lighting Question - EBay Related

[Doug01]

I was wondering how this would work on top of a 29 Gal Reef? I have a regular old light strip right now that came with the aquarium. I know it's not enough with it's 20W for a reef. Would this one from EBay be ok?

I have a 4" DSB and was just wondering if this would put out enough for a good reef?

THANKS!

I think that would be great lighting for you! You could def. keep softies, and maybe a few more.

 

[Doug01]

Thanks. Would that be enough for a few harder corals and maybe an anemone?

I would stay with mostly softies, and the anemone really depends more on how mature your tank is. How long has the tank been running.

 

[Doug01]

The tank has been up with someone else for a few years...but since I have had it, it has been running at my house for 3-4 months. I wasn't planning on getting one anytime soon. I still need a bit more live rock before I can to too much more!

I have heard that the JEBOs arent very good lights. HTH.

JEBO stuff is marginal at best. If you wan t nicer PCS i would stick with Coralife. Should a problem arise Coralife is quick in honoring there warranty.

With a light like that you could keep anything except clams and SPS; and no yellow leathers. Any othere softy, polyps, LPS would be fine.
