coral frag lighting

[cuccaro]

What would be best and cheap lights i can use for a 10g coral frag tank?

 

[nikesb]

how cheap are we talking and what kind of corals

 

[cuccaro]

As cheap as possible And all types from hard to soft to mushrooms just depends what o can get to frag. Just want to make sure I can support all types

 

[nikesb]

all types of coral...
LED, par38 bulbs (80-120$). 1 will be good enough to cover a 10gallons. under the bulb, SPS. indirect of the bulb LPS, zoas, softies.
if you want more coverage, evolution led.

I was also planning on using small live rock pieces live sand a power head a hang on filter heater. Then put some snails and peperment shrimp in there and keep corals on egg crates? What do u think?

i wouldnt do live sand just cause youre gonna want stronger flow. put some live rock underneath the eggcrate and you should be good. put a small fish in like gobies, blennys or something to keep the nitrogen cycle going
