130w PC on 20L....what can I keep???

[supermarvin76]

I am thinking of setting up a 20L. I already have a 2x 65w PC fixture that I was thinking about using to save $$$. What would I be able to keep?

If the lighting allows I would like frogspawn, hammer, and MAYBE zoos, I have heard once they start gorwing, it could be a pain.

Any other suggestions as to what to keep would be great!!!!

Thanks.

IMO U should b fine.

I have 130 on my 25 ... so far I have zoanthids and a toadstool leather and they both look great.

The LFS near my house keeps a ton of different LPS in a similar tank and everything looks really healthy.

 

[easye123]

you can keep anything but sps and clams IMO

Obviously easye123... He already knows that.

 

[easye123]

thanx for the memo hahahahah

 

[binaryterror]

Dude, you are such a loser... (easye123) Just stop talking. And I am not replying anymore so dont try too hard on a comeback.

 

[supermarvin76]

anyways......can we please get back on track.

 

[binaryterror]

Yes sir. All good. But do you know exactly what you want to keep? But I sure that light you have is enough for all LPS, Zoos, and softies.

 

[supermarvin76]

That is what I am interested in. Love frogspawn, hammer, and even torch.

I heard that torch will actually hurt. Is that true?

 

[binaryterror]

Never heard that they will sting you, but they might! And I just got my first Hammer, and it inflated like a balloon under my 150w MH's! It was under only HO bulbs when I bought him, so he's soakin' this light up as much as he can! lol.

And after looking at this pic, I am actually not sure if it's Hammer or Frogspawn. Does anyone here know?

 

[supermarvin76]

Does not look like hammer to me. MAYBE frogspawn???

I agree,frogspawn.

 

[easye123]

[binaryterror]

Wow, well my LFS is really dumb. They labeled it as Hammer. And easye123, why is that funny? I thought you finally matured as I did.

I agree...I took a chance on sps and have 6 sps frags flourishing in my 30g cube...they have easily doubled in size since i got them 2-3 months ago...maybe they are growing slow...but they are alive and well....(great polyp extension and color)

Aditionaly, I have a gigas clam that has grown about 1/2" in the past 2 month.
