Hey all! I'm planning my next build and have light questions! I'm wanting to do a small frag tank, going with the IM 15 cube, this fits my space needs. Anywho, what would be a good light for it? Historically I like cheap but then I end up buying another cuz I didn't like something and then another so usually I end up with several junks and more money spent.

I was looking at the noop mini (cuz I'm cheap) or the ai prime, which do you guys prefer over a small tank? Did the noop compare to the prime or is it still prime for the win?

See, I can add valuable conversation too, I'm not just a meme poster. Jeesh. Lol

OMG I know nothing on that, as if I wasn't already confused on which led to get, that's a curve ball for sure. I'll give it a Google.

Nope, stand alone in another spot in the house.
That's makes it a bit harder as now you can go with Literally anything.

If they were together, I'd say use the same lighting.

Although they still give me a nasty taste in my mouth, noops seem to be a pretty good value for what you get.

They run hot and they’re outdated but they work! I was just kidding… I do currently run them cause I don’t have 10k for radions on my big tank and my acros are loving them.. colors suck but the radions at dusk help with that.. plenty of cheap led options for that tank thou..

I know, there's just so many of options. Hence the perpetual confused state.

This is why I have so many red Sea Lamps.
I refuse to do any more research into anything else.
Anytime I think I have one picked, I read a little more and then second guess myself into it or of it. That's why I called for help. My brain needs help. HALP!!

Thanks for the tag. I was already sorta following along with the race, but just not in a good position to add to the post count. Other concerns are consuming my focus through last week/weekend.

No way am I going to catch up soon with another 20+ pages added since your post...

This is why I don't research and just go with what comes with all the tanks I purchase .... :winking-face:

You are also going to get a lot of different opinions.... sometimes less is more.... until it isn't......:thinking-face:

Edit to add... I'm mostly joking here. I just don't have anything of value to add so I just say stupid stuff. Maybe I should Miyagi myself :thinking-face:

Noop mini is always a good option. The only downside is it only has 3 channels instead of the typical 6 on a Noop - Blue, Red/Green, and White.

On a small tank like that you'd be able to grow almost anything but the heat would not be easily dissipated. One big consideration.
