      What length you looking for? I have a current led that I’ll sell for far less than $150 lol. I’ll have to check the exact length with adjustable legs

      I have an AquaMedic 24 t5 light I was not looking at getting rid of it but if you can use it I do not mind and far less than 150. Closer to the 50 mark.

      I have the original Aqua Illumination Hydra. It was top of the line when it came out about five years ago. Works well with only about 2 years of use. It would need a controller to use.

      LED is not going to sustain your SPS in the long-term, not by itself anyway
      I have a complete 250-watt DE Halide mini pendant that would be perfect for your cube.
      The trick with regulating heat wth Halides is in the height you mount your light. 6-12" is typical, some setups have their lights upto 24" above the water line. In any case, if you insist on LED at least supplement it with T5 HO bulbs, but then again 24" is likely the shortest fixture combo you will find.
      I can set you up with the Halide mini pendant, electronic ballast, and DE Bulb for a mere $100 if you wanted to try it out.

      Great choice these are great for sps growth. I use the hydra he and have phenomenal growth and the colors pop no supplements and won’t have to break the bank running a old halide
