20g Lighting?

[True_Bohemian]

Just a quick question concerning the lighting of soon to be nano.
Im looking around online to find a lighting fixture and came across the orbit lighting that would fit on top of the tank. The tank is 24" long and the lighting has 1 dual daylight and 1 dual actinic. Both 65watts lights for the 20 gallon tank. Thats a total of 130 watts. My question is, would that be to much light for just a 20 gallon tank? Can I keep Sps coral in there? Any construtive advice is welcomed. Maybe also some diffrent ideas for lighting.

6.5wpg, sounds fine to me.

Thanks, just making sure and everything. Didnt know if I will screw something up or not. I like to be prepared first before I get something.

i don't know if sps would be good with that set up. i've never kept them but i have heard that they brown out under pc lighting. in reality 2x65 isn't really a bunch of lighting. It will be fine for soft corals and probably lps but if you wanted sps i would go with either t5s or a halide.

if your just starting and think that t5 are too expensive i would just get them, in a little bit you will want to upgrade anyway so realy you will be saving that money you would have spent on pc.
(only 3 months in and im going from pc to t5s :rolleye1: )

Oh ok. I'll look into them, Maybe I will get them instead.
