Lighting

[PVitty77]

I have a 20L that i am planning that is going to be mainly fish and some inverts. but possibly some corals if im able to. I just purchased a Nova Extreme T5 with lunar light. is that sufficient lighting for coral or should i just stick to the FOWLR? also i have tried w/o success to keep anemones and i realized that it was the light i was using. is the light i just purchased suffiecient for the anemones?

Yup, your fine with the T5 lighting. I'm using the 39w bulbs on a 18" deep tank now. You should be able to keep SPS's at the top with good bulbs, and just about anything else except SPS's in the lower half. If you are into open brains or mushies, it may be too much light.

Check out the T5 Q&A thread in the lighting forum for more information.
