20 L - Zoo

[ReefDreams]

Im setting up a 20L ...

I'll be starting off with zooanthids, I was wondering wich other corals would fit well with them ?

Aside from this basic question, Wich lightning type should I go for ? I was thinking 2x65 W (50/50) PCs or maybe 4x24W T5HO ... Only problem is that the T5 are 24'' the tank is 30''

Maybe MH would do better ?

The filtration will be LR and ac110 fuge, some powerheads...

I hope you can help me a bit

Well your 2x65 W Pcs are also only 24 in. they are just alternating, like on is all the way to the right and the other is all the way to the left. If i was you i would go with the 4x24 T5's and just alternate like the pc's bulbs do.
Reasons for going T-5
1. Bulbs last longer 1 to 2 years compared to 6 months with pc.
2. Greater intesity
3. Atinic (sp) bulbs are better.
4. More of a selection. You can mix and match the bulbs so that you get the coloration of bulbs you want.
Those are my opinions. I had a 20l zoo dominated tank at one time with pc's. Now it is a 40 breeder with 2 175 watt MH.

You should be fine not running a skimmer on that tank. I didn't run one. And used the same type of filtration that you are going to use. ben
