Well i have my 20 gallon tank. I just newly bought it. I am going to make it into a little nano tank. I have crushed corals as gravel. They are white. The water is still in cycle.

Specific gravity: 1.023
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 0
Ph: 8.0

I have a 15 watts light in there. Is it good enough? If its not could I get advice on which one. It is also right infront of a window that has alot of sun light direct to it. It would only be a tank with 2 ocellaris clown. And other info please add. Thanks. :huh:
 
If you don't plan on corals, anemones etc., and go with non-photosyntheic inverts the light is fine. It would look a lot better with more light, and give you more options however. If you want to upgrade T5 or power compacts are fine, I prefer T5.
 
You will need to upgrade your lighting for the bubble tip. T5 will run around 200 for an entry level unit (like the Current setup). PC's will run 130-150, both work fine. I forgot to add if you go T5 make sure it is HO (high output), for instance the coralife units are normal output so the light is kinda weak also good reflectors are mandatory. A small skimmer would help a lot, and small skimmers are usually easy to find used as many people upgrade for larger tanks. You might be able to find one here.
 
Ok then. Since i didnt get the light bulb i used something else. I bought 2 light hanger or something like that. and it holds one 60 watt blue light bulb. I think this should do the trick :clap:

O yea and it has 120 watts!
