Light for Fluval EVO 5

[HeckleFish]

So I ended up with an EVO 5 for free. Just need a light.
I have an AI Prime on my EVO 13.5 but that's going to be overkill on this tank. It's only six inches wide.
Any thoughts on a small light that hopefully can be programed.
The tank is going to be Zoas and mushrooms.

Zoas and mushrooms should grow just fine under the stock light. . .

There is no light.
I have the stock light for the 13.5 which I applied some paint to most of the whites. I found that all those whites grow green hair like crazy. I can use this if I can find a way to mount it.

The EVO 5 does not require much, but the stock light would barely keep with easy Zoanthids or hardy LPS corals.

I had this reef for a couple years with a $ 90 light and was able to keep SPS corals successfully at 55% intensity

This is great!
I was able to score the same light in the IC Loop version on Chewy.com for $43 delivered. Regularly $149 and 60% off and $20 off extra for a new user.
Until it gets here I took the stock light from my 13.5 mounted on a long flexible cell phone holder with a bunch of zip ties.

Do you have a part/model number on the power strip you used? I want to get one for each tank and I searched Bestek on Amazon and can't find that one.

What about fish? I'd do clown gobies or coral crouchers, maybe even a possum 2rasse if willing to rehome

Nice!!!!, the IC Loop is not as strong in par as the one I used (Mine was discontinued when the Loop came out), but it sure has enough par to penetrate 11” from water level to bottom.

Best of luck bud!, the EVO 5 is really fun to keep
