So I won auction 300015695484 from that big old sales site and I am getting into a smaller tank after playing around with my 75. Figured this would be fun.

What I want to run are sps corals and what not, so what lights should I look at. I am not sure what all is offered for the nano's as it's all new to me.

Also, what is the fish / invert ratio per gallon....ie what can I have or should I stil too?

i checked your tank you very nice what lighting you will need depends on the livesotck you want in ur tank... what you have is fine for softies and shrooms and stuff like that... but ifyou want to keep clams and other high light stuff ur gunna need 7-10 watts per gallon right now i think you have less then 5 watts per gallon. but as far as invert stock its really depends what you like, but theres not many inverts that wont be ok in that 20 gallon... but theres no really set "invert per gallon" because most inverts are diffrent size and have difrent motabolisms.ect.ect.ect... theres really only set amounts per gallon within one type of animals like 1-2 snails per(again depending on type) gallon...just something for you to consider... so once you know what in general you want to keep someone might be able to suggest what kind of lights you need to get or add, or a stock list. for now would say take them bio balls out if you havent already and turn that into a fuge with cheato or someting

I am going more for the hard corals. I just was not sure what model lights I should consider I guess.
