Default Sps nano???

How viable is a 20 gallon sps nano tank with T5s as metal halides are way out of my price range for one lump sum anyway
I think it's a 20g high rimless

what t5 fixture are you looking at using?

something like a sundial would be great for monti's, birdsnests and some acros (slimmers) but make sure you upgrade your bulbs.

but lighting isn't the huge issue with nano's, the key to keeping sps is stability and in nano's everything fluctuated very easily. salinity flunctation is where alot of people struggle so if your planning on runnin a sump add a ato.

Yeah T5's are fine for sps but can you keep the nano stable enough for sps?
