Lighting for a 18" nano cube?
I've decided to put together a nano tank with an 18x18x24 cube tank that I have.
Any ideas on what to light it with? Are 18" T5 fixtures available? I plan to keep Ricordias, zoas etc and perhaps LPS Thanks, Rob |
pretty sure oceans aquatic in delta has a 18 inch t5 fixture , i think its a current usa nova extreme .
|
There are also readily available LED fixtures at 18" like this one :

Those marineland leds are for FOWLR tanks only
Have you considered a JBJ Viper K2 150watt? Love mine on my nano and after upgrading the bulb its a decent buy for the price |
I have a 150w pendant over mine. I have ric's, zoas and some easy sps like digita. I've also used a 70w sun pod which worked just fine, I just wanted a little more light.

id go mh for a 24" tall tank
|
Have you considered LEDS. Aqua illumination would look crazy on that.
|
Did I mention this is low budget? I was going to use the PC fixture I have, but it seems to have quit working from it's time spent in the garage.
I'm leaning toward a 150w pendant since looks like there's good bulb availability. 18" T5 bulbs seem hard to come by. |
I have a 70W sunpod available for sale.
2 of them actually. |
OK, I've ordered the JBJ 150w halide from Ocean Aquatics. Now all I need is a Remora skimmer and I'm good to go.
