Hard Coral in Nano HQI 28G Tank
 
Just wondering if my Nano tank light is good enough for hard coral? Planning to have those in my tank 3 months down the road. Do i need to upgrade?

If you have an HQI metal halide light over your tank (I'm assuming you have one of those all in one tanks, Aquapod or whatever, and the MH light that goes with it) it's more than likely enough. Its probably 150W if it's a Sunpod, so you should be good over a tank that small. From what I remember after having seen one, these tanks aren't that deep.

You can do it !
 
My first tank was a 12 gallon Aquapod with a 70w HQI MH Sunpod for lighting. I kept SPS and a clam in the tank with success !
