What LEDs do people recommend for a 20g long that can support SPS coral that is not super expensive.

A lot of people will probably tell you to check out the taotonics if your on a budget

Are there any reviews on UTube?

A taotronics fixture will work, but you best get the dimmable one. I think full strength will be too potent for 12" of water unless you hung it pretty high up.

I heard that the fans are really loud too. Is that true?

 

[Clownfish101]

Also can you guys post links? Im not sure which ones you r talking about.

They sound like computer fans. I don't know if you would consider that loud, but you can certainly hear them.

How would three of these be?http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004KW1T2C

I already have one and my purple monti is doing well.

If you think the spread from the one you have will cover 1/3 of a 20 long it may work for montis, but I wouldn't trust acropora would remain colorful for very long under them. No personal experience with them however. Since you have one now, you should do that research before your purchase.
