Small Tank LIghting Help

[barracauda]

Looking to start a small tank to hold frags untill i put them into my other tanks. I have a 2.5 gal laying around, any reccomendations on lighting fixtures that would work for soemthing like this?

A PAR38 would be an easy option.

Ive never used one of those, what kind of fixture are they put in?
Or can you link me to one i would need, im kinda new to the whole reef tank scene.

They screw in to a standard light socket.

Great option for this light. Probably the best for a nano, small solana. Energy efficient, as well as powerful.

How many watts would i need for a PAR? or what specs?

you think a par 38 would be enough to handle sps frags?

Definitely more than sufficieant for sps.

ROFL!!! a Par38 is overkill for a 2.5g tank.
That's like saying... Let me light a cigarette in a forest fire.
You can manage getting a small LED fixture and it will work like a charm for temporary lighting.
