Haddoni in a 20L, which light?

[dalilgriffith]

Ok, first off, please do not respond with "You cannot fit that carpet in that tank. I want to buy this electric green carpet from the LFS and put it in this tank while i setup my new 200 DT. What light do you suggest. ThatFishPlace suggested I get a Current Sundial T5HO 30" but you can see:

That would only give me 96 Watts

96/20 is just under 5 watts per gallon on 12" of depth.


What are your thoughts?

i had my carpet in a 20L(w/ 25 as a sump) with 3x NO flouescents and a vho actinic running on a vho e ballast.

worked great.

just test regularly to keep up with water quality changes until you get the big one going.

the T5 your showing should do the job.

i would get the sundial too that is the equivalent of 300watts of powercompact

I would go with MH when keeping anemones. In my experience, it helps to keep them in one spot.

I have green one in my 25 gallon or so tank I built. Took me a while to figure out how it wanted to attach but once I got it a good attachment it hasn't moved.

Here it is

This is just prior to getting it. The back left is where I made space.
