zoa tank light

[stevelkaneval]

im going to be setting up a 5.5 gal zoa only tank and was wondering what lighting i should use. im going to go skimmerless (until i get it tied into my 20 gallon that does have a skimmer) 8 lbs of lr, 1.5-2" sand bottom, and maybe my aquaclear 70 hobf that i have on my 20 converted to a fuge. any thing else besides zoas?

I have a single 18w pc over on 5.5 and it's only adequate.

The AC 70 may be a bit much flow for a 5.5. They're on my 10 gallon tanks and even with the AC 50 impeller it moves the substrate.

yea i have the 70 on my 20 long and its a little too much.
