Should work just fine. I did something similar to my BC8. The cheato in the middle chamber grows really well.

Well after 1.5 weeks it grew a nice squared "brick" of chaeto taking up every inch of the chamber. I removed all but a pinch.

I am happy to see that my two frags of Monitipora digitata coral are growing under my blazing 56w of PC light.

Strangley the digitata are the fastest growing corals in my tank right now. Kind of bland to look at but they sure do grow. Each frag has grown three spikes, one centimetre long each.

SPS growing well under 56W of PC light, nifty.

I have had the tank one year this week so I have borrowed a nice camera to document the tank. Here is the first of a few I am going to post this week.

Love your Paly picture it is beautiful
How is Tines tank coming by the way

Tine needs to update her thread but it is doing fine. She has some minor cyano that concerns her but I explained that is normal for a new tank. She has my peppermint shirmp and it made quick work of her few aptasia. They are very good with the maintenance and I'm proud of them both for the great tank.

1 year pics of my 12 gallon can be found here:

One Year Anniversary Pictures
 
One Year Update with Pictures

The SPS is growing quite well considering these are PC lights for a whopping total of 52 watts, I have two Digitata pieces and the Porites stone with the Xmas worms doing great. I think I would like to try a Monti cap. :mrgreen:

Still not skimming but still doing 10% water changes every week for maintenance. I am not dosing and I haven't tested anything for more than 8 months. The best upgrade I did was the DIY ATO, it really has made a difference to the corals. The DIY chamber fuge grows a nice brick of cheato every 8 days which is good nutrient export.

I am really pleased with this tank right now but it is "finished" in that there is nothing else I can really add. No room! Well maybe a Monti cap. :)
