hey guys, I've had my 60 gallon fowlr for about 5 years and want to get into having some corals. Nothing crazy just some mushrooms, zoas, softies, maybe an anemone. My problem is I don't know anything about lighting and what would be good for that. I know this hobby is expensive but I'm in college so funds are somewhat limited. My tank is 48" long and 24" deep. Is there any good lights I could get for hopefully $200 or less? Also I would prefer to do LED. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out reef breeders at the 200 to 250 price. Will grow some good coral.

Look into shitboxes heres my link to em on fb.. -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/603511806434292/
(One; would grow corals over half your tank & prolly some low light corals on other.)
Personally, I'm looking into DIY my own LED's... could always look into that!
Otherwise, I think shitboxes are good bang for ur $.
