are u sure that it is a 8 gal, i check on the interenet about finnex tanks and their lowest sizes are 4 gal, then it jumps up to 20 gal

I know for sure this is an 8 gallon. I measured the dimensions and it came out to be 8. Also i have a 10 gallon and this tank is only slightly smaller. I don't know if this is a finnex tank. I don't remember saying that but if i did sorry. Any more questions and i'm happy to answer them.

hmmk, the bulbs Dual Reef Compact Fluorescent Lamp supplies 7,400K Daylight (which simulates bright light on a sunny tropical day) on one half and the other half 14,000K True Actinic (providing blue light for photosynthetic corals).

Ya This is true. The 7.4 k will allow good growth for corals while the atinics just make the corals have a nicer color to them.

also, my reasoning for it bein a finnex was the logo/nnex on the tank light picture.

the tank rated for saltwater applications?
