2x40 for 10 gallon

[saltyfishy]

What would I be able to keep with a 2x40 watt pc's lights in my 10 gallon? 8 watts a gallon. soft,and some hards? anemones?

 

[tuningvis]

softies and the rest depend on how experienced you are with SW corals
i would leave hard corals for advanced nano keepers
and would not think of putting an anemone into a 10

 

[nanoreef]

-i would-
-lol- dont put one in your tank

tuningvis knows what iam talking about

 

[tuningvis]

yea hitchhiker anemones are another story
i've got a crap load of tulip anemones that divide like crazy

 

[nanoreef]

i have aspistia how do i get rid of them ?
Question for tuningvis
would my blue star have wiped out my pod population ?

 

[tuningvis]

your can boil water and shoot them in the mouth but be careful not to get your corals
joes juice
or kalk blask them
i dunno bout the star and pods

I have the exact light ( current usa 2x40w ) with that light you are good for keeping softies and most LPS corals

how big of a tank do you need to support anemones then? I am considering a jbj 12 gal deluxe. I've never kept a reef before. Me=newbie

 

[tuningvis]

if you want a nano i would just push aside the anemone idea.. it's just not a great move in the long run or short run

I also have a 44 gallon fish and invert. only pentagon corner tank I've had running for a year... how much light would I need to bump it up to being ok for anenomes? Will it be too deep to get enough light to them? Would I have to pile up some LR to bump them up higher? I have a really nice pair of false perc. clowns and I'd love to give them an anenome home, but if it's not meant to be they seem to be a happy pair. I had heard at minimum 3-4 watts per gallon for a reef tank, and I'm assuming it would need to be higher than that... or is it going to be more of a tank size problem? Lighting leaves me a little confused.

your best best if its a tall tank is to go with MH lighting .. MH seems to have light reach deeper water more so than PC or VHO
also clowns do not need anemones to be happy ... mine have found a nice home on my hairy mushrooms
