My apologies for this trivial question however i am not much of the light expert. Would this be able to support LPS, SPS, anemones?
Thank you!
You should have no problems in my honest opinion. I have a 14G BioCube with stock lighting (24watt 10K daylight, 24 watt actinic) and keep a Maxima clam and a RBTA without any issues. The only thing I haven't been able to keep was a birdsnest, but I'm suspect with the quality of the frag that I tried.

Yeah well im aware that the sunpod 20 inch fits them as a result of the mounting legs so im hoping the same, and wow that's impressive BLTDREEF haha i wouldnt have the guts to blow the money on that type of risk but if it works out its more than worth it
LOL ... I had to take the chance. Two LFS's near me know me very well and give me great deals. I only paid $30 for a show quality Maxima and the RBTA was like 1/2 the price they go for online. Thus far both are doing really well.

Leaning towards the T5O....however what is the difference between the 18 inch Current USA Nova Extreme 2x18 watt T5 HO 10K/460nm and the Current USA Nova Extreme T5 X2 Aquarium Lighting Fixture, 2X18 Watt, 18 inch? I know the first one is about an inch shorter in terms of width but it is 20 dollars more, why?

I think one has individual reflectors and they other doesn't. And I think the one has better bulbs than the other.
