    I'm starting to look into getting things that i will need for my 20Tall.

    All i want to be able to do is grow green star polyps and xenia.

    Is there a cheapish light that would be good for this and at the same time not create much heat?

    All of my tanks are budget tanks,so i took a chance with them,and so far it's paid off nicely.

    lol my main tank, my 46 basically has no budget so this one is just going to be a simple setup.
