    Hello all,

    I am looking for a good led light for my new nano reef I want to set up which will either be a biocube 14 or just my 10 gallon for LPS coral.

    It doesn't need to be a strip I would actually prefer a bulb I could mount up top. Can anyone please give me a suggestion or refer one to me, there are so many I am lost.

    For a 10-15 gallon tank you will need atleast 2 par30 bulbs.

    Agreed. The coverage for one PAR30 bulb is 12"x12". ;D
