Just converted my 20g to SW. Added 20lbs of live sand, stuck on a little HOB to clear up the water after that. Put in a turbo snail can added a 65w coralife 50/50 CF light. Is that enough lighting for soft corals and anenomes? if not I was going to buy this http://shop.aquatraders.com/Odyssea-Metal-Halide-Pendant-150W-with-T5-p/54241.htm Also what protein skimmer do you recommend for this tank?

the halide seems like overkill... if they have like a 70watt that'd be cool
the PC lighting would be fine for soft corals, but too weak for any 'good' anemones
AquaC remora or CPR bakpak would be a great skimmer for this tank

Well i got everything going today, 20ls live sand, 17lbs live rock a small power head and my light
adding to the PC's? it's be kind of a mess aesthetically but it'd certainly help
a couple of T5's would probably suffice on their own actually
edit... sorry just re-read you last post... T8's are weaker than PC's T8's are normal aquarium lights

yea im just trying to save money after spending 120 on a light that isnt good enough so i was going to buy a 2' shop light and get two coralife 50/50s
Ok well i just found this http://www.marinedepot.com/24_inch_...urrent_USA-CU01011-FILTFIPCTF-CU01013-vi.html i can buy it if petco lets me return my light
this'd be better- the 24" unit
