Setting up my tank again. I'll be running an old icecap 660 with 2 48" actinic white and actinic blues. Was wondering what I can keep in this tank that is 24" deep? I love frogspawn, hammers, starpolyps, and zoos. Will i be ok? I will be adding my 2 250 MH as soon as the job thing gets better. All help and sugguesting welcomed.:wavehand:

thats pushing it. keep them high. 24 inch tall tank will need 6+ 4' t5 ho's min. if you want stuff towards the bottom.

yuppers. and when you get more intense lighting, move them down so they dont go into light shock.
