Marineland led question!

[gerb1617]

I am new to this hobby! I have had many freshwater aquariums! Now Im interested in salt! Im currently cycling a 10gallon nano tank with a marineland led light! Is there any low light corals I can keep with it! It's the 18" model! Thanks!

you should probably be good with softies.

is it the single bright, double, or reef fixture?

 

[gerb1617]

It's a single bright!

 

[Maaka]

With the single i want to say no. it is mainly just for lighting.

With the reef you could do softies and maybe more.

You could try and get a xenia and see how it does if you really want.

This is just one example i found really quick.

look into getting a t5 fixture they are cheaper and very good.

Awesome! Thank you very much for your time!

I don't use t5 so you may want to ask around to see which fixture will suit your needs the best and what kind of bulbs you will want to run in it.

No problem anytime
