lighting on a budget..is this enough?

[woofy]

Ok i have a standard 29g i have polpys. shrooms. xinia,zoa, blastos? and some frags of torch bubble and toadstool. i can rly only afford a corallife 64w double linear light. one 10000k and one atinic. is this enough for these corals? if not what would be a budget friendly light?

I have the Lunar T5 H.O. which is 2 10,000k and 2 actinic and it's on a 29g. If you can swing it, that would be the system i recommend. However for softies the 2 light setup will work.

DAMN! Those are cheap. I wish I saw that when I bought mine... lol

Yea, many aquariums that never would have happened have been set up because of this website. Cuts out a lot of the cost.

Looks like I have found my lights!!

For possibly an anenome and some other beginner coral would 4 bulbs t5 be fine?

What bulbs should I get?

Just remember when you order those lights your getting what you pay for. They use very low quality ballast, reflectors and the bulbs they come with are terrible. If your starting out on a budget they will work but plan on at least putting quality bulbs in. Allegedly the quality has come up a little the last few years. I read too many stories and personally know of two odysea ballast that caught fire for me to try one.

I need a cheap light system for a 14g planted tank... sadly i didn't see anything small enough on there
