i have a 5g rimless nano that has two clowns, 3 peppermint shrimp and a turbo snail. i have had it up and running and slowly adding things for about 6 months now. i also have a 2" sand bed and 15lbs live rock. im looking to start growing corals, but really want an anemone. all of my readings are stable amm 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10ppm, cal 440 with kent dosing used too make purple coraline. it was 300 before and phosphates are at .25. had a hair algea problem but scrubbed it off and added the snails and they took care of that in no time. i am curious what the most cost effiecent way of lighting this small of a tank. its 16" long 10" tall and 8.5" deep. thanks in advance for all

as of now i do not have an alk test

Two clowns & a bubble tip anen. won't work in a 5g. My advice would be to upgrade to a 30g minimum and buy your light fixture based on that size.

Definitely skip the anemone. As far as lighting goes, here's a fixture worth considering. GL.
