so i have a regular nano aquapod (12G), now what exactly is the lighting,i understnd it is PC, and has 1 set of lights that regular white light, and another set thats actinic, does that mean its 50 / 50, and how many watts does this usuly take. Is this lighting considered low lighting, medium lighting, or strong lighting. and i have the regular outlet for the filter that creates a flo, it has an atachment that can shoot water in 2 directions, should i ditch that and by a new product, and either way is this considered low flo, medium flo, or strong flo, ty for your time

I am no expert on Aquapods (I have a Bio-Cube myself)
Lighting - I am pretty sure that you have 2X27w PC bulbs in your Aquapod. Total of 54w/12g = 4.5w/g. Also, your nano isn't that deep. I would say that you have low to medium lighting. You should be able to get zoos, mushrooms, xenia, and other low-low/medium light corals (I've seen some people with nice hammers or frogspswns too).
As far as flow - I think that your pump is rated around 160 gph. While this isn't bad by any means (more than 10 times turnover) most people choose to upgrade to at least a MJ-900 or even 1200. This would give you Medium-Medium/High flow.
Hope this helps a bit. Again, I would stick around for another opinion from someone who actually has a Aquapod.

I have a 12g AP, and this info is dead on.
As for as corals go... You should be able to keep most softies and LPS. Some SPS will do well, but you'll have to be carefull. Your watts per gallon is good, but the light spectum PC bulbs put out isn't all that great, and that will be the limiting factor for SPS.
