I need help finding a light for my new nano tank!

[JeremyXXX]

Well...I'm back! I sold my Fluval EDGE to a friend of mine and within a couple of months I'm getting back into the hobby. I picked up a 7 gallon rimless tank from xxfirewaterxx tonight and I'm getting my build going right away.

My main concern is lighting...the tank measures 16" x 10" x 11" and I'm thinking of going with a clip on style light. I'm open to any and all suggestions from you guys. Like any other college student I'm on a tight budget. Mike is a great guy and hooked me up with this setup for a crazy low price and I couldn't say no so here I am again ready to start another nano tank.


Please give me some feedback/guidance as to what light to go with...

A par bulb should be enough light for your new set up

Thank you for the feedback. I was looking at the par lights just curious if there is anything else out there worth looking into.

EDIT: after watching a couple reviews on YouTube I'm going to go with this one

I think the boost led is fine for that tank...

yea Mike got me back into the hobby. Gonna be a while until the tank is up and running but eventually I'll be looking for some frags again.

Welcome back.
You could get away with a par30 depending on what you want to grow.
A par38 will be a better option.
There are great reviews on the LEDtric bulbs over at NR.
If I hadn't just gotten my boostLEDs (I do love them though) i would have checked out the LEDtric par38s.

Maybe try out a Kessil A150W...

Thanks for the tips guys I'm gonna keep checking out all my options before buying anything. Just gonna go with some torch corals, GSP, maybe another leather toadstool and the basics so I think the par 30 will suffice but if something nice pops up for sale on here I'll jump on it!

The boostled par30 with reef lamp clamp will suffice for that one. Or maybe get the LEDtric trupop par38. That will be more than enough for your tank.
