2 gallon lighting

[Rpbustillo]

I'm getting a fluval spec 2 gallon tank tomorrow and I'm considering getting one of the par 38 LEDs. Do you think that is too much light? Would one of the 18w 6 led clip lights be a better choice?

What do you plan on keeping? The par 38 might be a bit too much light and its probably the same size as the tank!

Don't know exactly what I'll keep in it yet, but it will be a mixed reef tank

Do you guys think this would be enough light for this tank?

not sure what the dimensions would be on a 2 gal but might want to look into the same bulb but in a dimmable model just in case. I want to give a kessil a try in a rimless tank. They look amazing with the way they use a matrix led set up on their fixtures.

My tank is the fluval spec 2

7x9x10 tall, anyone else have an opinion on lighting for this tank? I need to order a light ASAP.

get a dimmable par30 with the 7x2watt leds (14watts total)with a dimmable light fixture. They should give plenty of light and if its too much you can always dim it down some.
