Tank inhabitants
 

Hi,
I have a 36"X18"X18" tanks with Nova Extreme T5HO light canopy. What could a put in there as per corals sps lps. What would the lights support?

need a little bit more info here, Jim. How many bulbs are you running? Depending on that and water quality as well as water movement will determine what you can keep in there. Anything is possible. You'll have to do some fragging down the road (fun fun!) but it's entirely possible

.

Hi,
The light is a 4 fixture 39W T5HO fixture on a 18" high tank (54 gal). Tight now I have a Bubble coral and an Anenomy(sp) with some live rock. I run Two liittle fishes Phosban and Cyclone 100 skimmer in my 20Gal sump with some live rock also.
MY water parameters are
Ammonia=0
Phosphate=0.03
Nitratre=5
KH 6.25
Calcium 410
Magnesium 1400
salinity 1.024
temp=79 degrees

I am having a bit of algae problem right now that's why I swithced to Nova Lights was running a Coralife 192w light but I blamed the algae on it.

with a 4 bulb unit you might be a little hard pressed to keep alot of the higher light requiring SPS (someone else can correct me if I'm wrong), but you shouldn't have any problem with keeping LPS corals depending on where in the tank you put them. Keep in mind quite a few LPS require low/moderate flow.
