[UkiahTheTurtle]

Im setting up a little 5 gallon nano reef and would like some good budget suggestions for lighting. Thanks!

Define "budget"? I've had good results with both Nicrew and Reef Breeders lights. Noopsyche also has their Mini for a decent price.

I’d say budget would be less than $40 for a tank that size personally

I ran the Nicrew HyperReef on my 5 gallon for 2 or 3 years. It looks like they're around $70 now. I think I paid $35 back when I bought mine.

I have no experience with them but Hygger has a $40 Pico light.
