Lighting For Nano

[reefburnaby]

Hi,

I have kept a pseudo-nano for a while -- a 20 gallon. It is basically the same tank as the 15, but taller. Actually...the height didn't help much since I didn't use a sandbed on my 20.

For the 20 (softies and lps), a 55W PC was sufficient for most corals. I actually had trouble keeping mushrooms because the lights were too bright. The PC was a 10000K driven by Workhorse 5 -- for $70. MH is also a good idea, but it might be too bright for the simpler and easier corals.
