9 Watts per gallon?

[ino]

I have a 2 gal deco with two 9 watt pcs. What can I and can't I keep in here?

 

[ino]

ahem, forgive me for you literalists... coral-wise. Mushrooms, which I love, softies (small leather), etc.

 

[perfectdark]

your all set.. any softie you want... LPS too. Small tank though..LOL Good luck.

 

[cowfishrule]

overkill for some corals, no ?

you'd be fine with one 9 watt PC

 

[ino]

yes, I know, it's a lot, but that's what it came with. It may be only 13 watts, so I may be wrong. Even if it's only 6 wpg, can I keep any small, easy stonies? I probably don't even want to, I'm just wondering.

 

[ci11337]

yea you could, as long as water is kept clean

Prepare for an algae-fest.

in a 2 gallon i don't think algae would be hard to control, a small emerald crab and a little mex. turbo should have no problem cleaning 3lbs of LR. I never had algae issues in my 2 gal, can't say the same for the 55.
