Hello everyone,
I am planning to setup a 20gl tank in my garage just for plants, but I don't want to invest too much money, it'd be a "testing" tank and a "temporary" tank where I'd put plants before to ship them.
Here is the cheap tank I plan buying from Petsmart:

Size of the tank would be 30.5" x 13" x 13"
Tank will be high-tech (Co2 injected), so light should give me at least 60-100 PAR at the substrate (by using that tank, that'd be at around 12 inches from the light).
I am thinking about a LED light like the Finnex 24/7, but I am not sure if PAR would be adequate... what would you suggest? I could also consider a set of T5s, but I'd like to be able to stay within a $100 budget if possible. I am not interested much in dawn-sunset effects or other stuff, as I said, this will be a "working" tank and not a display tank.
Looking forward for your suggestions! Thank you in advance!
