ok, i've been thinking about it for ages, i read Kev's step by step guide which was extrememly useful and i've got a copy of the nano reef handbook, i think i understand the priciples of nano reefs, so have decided to stop thinking and start doing,
but i'm unsure of what lighting to use, the tank i'm going to use is 45l x 30h x 30w (cms), i'm going to keep SPS corals, zoanthids, coralmorpharians like ricordia, xenia, some sedentary annelid worms and maybe a scallop, also a couple of shrimp, a goby of some sort and either a bangaii cardianl or after a few months a mandarin fish.
I'm confused as to what lighting i'll need for this, don't want Mh so do i need one actinic and one daylight bulb, i want to use the hood already on the tank so is a interpret triplus flourescent tube feasible, does anyone have any experience of these? or would T5 PCs be better.
Sorry for the length of this post but any advice will be gratefully recieved
