Lighting questions for 40gal...

[POLARBEAR0871]

I've got a 40 gal tank full of LR and has some zoas. I want to get corals and anemones but don't know what lighting I should get I'm leaning more towards LEDs I found a site with reasonably cheap LED systems but do they need to be a certain wattage or is any wattage fine when it comes to LEDs???

Post a link and we'd be able to help you better, but in general you want 3 watt LEDs run at 2w minimum

Here's a link I was looking at the exotic strip ones for $37.

for your 40 you could get away with one 120 watt taotronic led unit for about 120 to 150 dollars and you'll be able to keep anything under them

Yeah I don't have that kind of money that's why I was thinking about the exotic strip
