Best lighting for a new frag tank ?

[Ober_Reef]

Hey Everyone,

My wife finally gave me the thumbs up to plumb a frag tank into my current 90 gallon tank. I have space next to the tank for roughly a 20” x20” tank and attached is the tank I’m thinking of buying. Just wanted to grab some ideas for the best bang for my buck lighting option. I would like the ability to grow any type of coral I want. I currently run two AI Hydra 32s on my 90 gallon both with added Reef Brite XHO bars to supplement. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I would maybe go with a small T5 fixture off Amazon, AI blades, or some other light bars? Gives you great light fill and power for a good price in my opinion over some of the more expensive pendant LED fixtures that are so popular.

Thanks! I have used T5s in the past and always think about them, I know they grow well ! Definitely gives me something to consider.
