nano question

[tome]

i don't have a nano buyt might be getting one. If i get a 12g nano is it possible to make it a reef? i don't have much knowledge with nanos so i was wondering.

 

[nanocuber7]

you can make it a nano reef

Totally possible..just decide what you want in there and purchase the correct equipment, just do plenty of research. Your largest expense will be the lighting.

yes i would be planing a nano reef, but would it make a difference if the ank was fan cooled or not.

ok 1 more question do you think 2 24 watt bulbs would work for a reef. (im also new to the reef tanks as well

I was reading another thread and the advice given on it was that 48ws would be fine for some of the soft corals that didn't need much light. I personally have a 10g tank with the 98w powerquad over it, but the light system it self was around $90 with shipping and handling, but I already had the whole 10gallon setup, so that didn't cost me any money. Good luck and hopefuly someone with experience with that amount of lighting will respond.

yeah, 48 watts will be fine if you are just gonna keep LR with some shrooms and some simple softies.
