20L Softie Tank Lighting Advice

Romann · 07/12/2017, 03:03 PM

Would a Zoomed aqua-sun LED 18" be enough light for softies in a 20 gal long? Only asking as I'm kind of iffy on it. I'm a beginner so please leave suggestions of different LED lighting options under $100 if the zoomed doesn't make the cut. Thanks in advance

Maybe..
Its a weak light though really intended for just general illumination though and not suitable for corals..

In general if you want a light suitable for corals and stay under $100 check out ones like this on ebay.. Just keep it dimmed to 50% or less and see how it goes.. But these are guaranteed to work and lots of people use them for all types of corals..
