I'm (sometime) going to start a 20g nano and i have a question about the lighting. would i be able to string a few flourecent lightbulbs or something across the top as an lighting system. What kind of wattage and things do you need for corals because we have a variety of lighbulbs just sitting in our laundry room.

Might want to research a little more into lighting, it's a bit more involved than grabbing some spare bulbs you have in the laundry room (unless that's were you have stock of aquarium supplies).

re: MH, check the wattage, 70W okay, 400W no.

I have a 70 watt metal halide on a 15g nano. Anything much bigger than 70 watts could cause overheating problems in a 20g nano. What size is your brother's light?
