Hey guys, im toying with the idea of a 50x30x20cm tank in my bedroom.. my computer table is attached to this shelf that the stated tank size can just fit nicely. the total height of the compartment is 33cm.. tank's 20cm and i have 13 cm of clearance for lighting.... i plan to go for LED.. but that will mean it will need to be place pretty close (around 5 - 10cm) to the water.

any also im on a budget too.. so what kind of LED would suit my needs? im thinking of going down Sim Lim Tower and DIY 5050 SMD LED strips since my tank's only 20cm but still worried it may not be enough..

This tank is planned to be a mainly zoas and maybe some LPS tank. definitely not SPS.

Forget about SMD. They look bright to your eye. But it is no good for reef tank.

If its within ur budget, u can consider getting a par38 bro :)

I just got myself a 7x3watt Par38-alike light set for my 34L.. right now im thinking of getting 2 set of 5x1watt with 120 degree lenses.. if i use 3 watt LEDs and its so close to the water with such a shallow depth.. all my corals will burn liao.

      WIZARD WEB RECOVERY A LEADING EXPERT IN LOST CRYPTO RECOVERY

      I never thought I'd see a penny of my stolen bitcoin again. I had invested over $150,000 in bitcoin back when it was still relatively new and unknown. As the price skyrocketed over the years, my investment grew to be worth over $400,000. One day I went to check my wallet and to my horror, the entire balance had been transferred out. My heart sank realizing all those years of watching my investment grow had been wiped away in an instant by some hacker. I frantically searched online for any way to recover stolen cryptocurrency. Most advice said there was nothing I could do if the thief took proper precautions with the private keys. Then I came across Wizard web recovery - a new web service that claims to use advanced statistical analysis to track stolen bitcoin as it gets passed around different wallets. I was skeptical but filled out their online form, explaining when and how my bitcoin was stolen. A few days later I received an email from a Wizard web recovery analyst. They had traced my stolen bitcoin to a popular exchange where the thief had cashed out. By contacting the exchange, they were able to recover my bitcoin! I was stunned. I truly never thought I'd see that money again. Thanks to Wizard web recovery brilliant web tracking, I got back every last satoshi of my $150,000 in stolen bitcoin. It was an incredible feeling to have what I thought was lost forever returned in the blink of an eye by these blockchain recovery specialists via: wizard web recovery (@) programmer(.) net
