Anyone know anything about this tank?

It's got 18wPc lighting. What could I keep coral wise with that much lighting? I will be putting a remora skimmer on it to skim the heck out of it. Thanks.

At that tiny size I believe a skimmer (especially that skimmer) is too much; It will make a nice multi-colored zoo tank, just run carbon and change a small amount of water every two weeks.

ok. I do weekly 1 gallon water changes on my 12 gallon aquapod so I think I will be doing like a half gallon weekly water change.

That 1/2 gallon a week will definitely keep your water pristine.
Sounds like a very nice set-up.

Don't be concerned with what weight; take the measurements of the tank and hand pick some fully cured LR from your LFS.

Take a ruler with you and choose by its aesthetics and then measure the piece(s) to make sure they'll fit.

you wont need a skimmer for that size tank . if you do decide to get a skimmer go with the nano skimmer it is like 30bucks and works great .

I know, I have kept many clams in my 90 with halide. But this is a3 allon so the light to depth ration is different.
