Sps nano???

[superduperwesman]

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

There was a guy on RC that did a 20 gal SPS tank and it was freaking amazing too and had T-5\s he was from australia

Very doable. My tank is 20 gallons, and I have plenty of SPS. But as was said before, stability is the key.

Ok so I was planning on getting a ro/di so waterchanges are no biggie a ato prob won't be hard and im open to all light fixtures but i'm wondering if when I do a wc in by bow reef if I dump it in the 20 with the extra ro/di water and cured live rock and sand does that mean I got a cycled tank or will there still be lots of die off. Oh any nano skimmers recomended and if I add a 10 g sump is it still a nano

I have a 16G nano with a mix of SPS and zoas. I have a 6G sump as well.

My light fixture is a mix of MH and T5HO but all T5HO's should be just fine.

You should still cycle the tank simply because patience is the key to putting together a successful nano. Go slow, start simple and then expand.

As for Nano skimmers, I use the BMQQ from Bubble Magus and it's been very good. Others have had great things to say about the new Euroreef nano skimmers and about the Tunze 9002.

As far as cycling goes I figured as much had to ask cuz it sounded like a cycled tank lol but at this point idk I'm just asking making sure I got some info before I go to the lfs Ty all for replying feel free to add to anything as it will be a little while before I do it as I kinda want a dog but we wil see

I would add the 10gal sump just to have increased water volume, easier to deal with fluctuations. just keep up on your Mg, Ca and alk. also dosing trace elements would be another thing to consider.
