I've just been given a tank that has no light in its lid.
What would be the cheapest option for lights?
I'm not looking at having any live plants in it
I got a led light off amazon for about £10 for my 5 gallon tank works find and gives off plenty of light. It just sticks to the inside of the glass under the water but being led it doesn't give off much heat which is a big plus.
if the side of your tank allows you can get one that slots on the side which is led for a tenner with a dimmer switch or under a tenner if you just want an off and on switch
