I am recently building a 40g reef tank. And i don't like to spend too much money for some lights so, here's my question.
Would you guys recommend using some lights bought from Lowe's for a reef tank?
Or probably you know somewhere I can get some cheap lights.
Please help a brotha out. Thanks.

that will not support live corals of most kinds, not intense enought. the cheapest best lookin lights ive seen are the ones on the bottom of this page, they do it all http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/catego...d2=;breadcrumb= and are cheap. im makin a 29 reef and gettin one of these soon.
