Really Cheap Lighting????

your welcome
if your reefing on a budget, then IMHO that light would be adequate for any number of less demanding corals examples , Zoanthids, Mushrooms, Yellow polyps, Leather corals, colt corals, Toadstools, mouse eared corals, Green Star Polyps, Anthellia, Xenia
the list goes on and on, I just dont remember them all at any given time

it was the mention of Clams and Nems, that decided for me , that the light fixture selected, was probably not a great choice

I have this fixture and had it on a previous saltwater tank but now its on my freshwater tank.

Odyssea T5 High Output Lighting

 

IS this good?

the aquapond

both of those are PC lights and not T5s
again, Im not saying there is anything wrong with them, many people have kept corals under PC lights , for the list of corals given already and for others

but the nems and clams ( maybe not all of both species, but the majority) would require a bit more intense lighting IME

also with PC lamps - you need to replace them every 9 months, but with T5 you can get an average of 12 months from them

Reef Bruh oddysea 4 lamp fixture seems like a good deal to me

the last 2 you posted where T5 and look better options to me
