Hydroponic LEDs . You have a nice selection at Amazon for ~ $100 for a 40 G tank. Pick the size of the LEDs based on your tank. Corals (SPS and LPS) grow like weeds and of course the Macro-algaes too. I have them all in my 40G fuge.

I have 2 of these over my 40 G fuge.

I run a basic led light made for refugs. It less than $40 and grows caulerpa and cheato with no problem. Not sure why people pay $100s for a fug. light

You are correct. The LED light I have is $49. Open the link of my post above. As I have 2 of those over my fuge my mind though in $100 for a 40G breeder tank (my fuge).

Cheers !
