Someone gave me a 24" model...so it fits nicely on a 20 gal long.

Anyway, I've never really dealt with anything other than halides...

What should I grow in this tank, that'll thrive with these compacts?

2x65W by the way

1-Dual Daylight / 1-Dual Actinic

all softies, and my digitata grew like 9" in a year under mine. Xenia, frogspawn, mushrooms, zoo's..

Choices are endless. Some acros as well.

I agree with Todd. Any of the medium- to low-light corals will do well. You won't see things grow as quickly as you're used to, but that's probably a good thing in a 20G tank anyway!

I will definitely take pictures...but not until the tank starts looking good. lol

gee willy i'm excited.


well i also got a 400 watt spare halide setup sitting around too lol I thought about ordering a new bulb for it and having a go with that, but I can't even imagine how I'd efficiently cool the tank.
