fishy687 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I started a 1g pico about a month ago and it should be well cycled by now. I bought coral for it a week ago as well. I have a 7 watt bulb. I heard that is adequate but what kind of bulb would really be good for the coral. Also please send links if you know where I can buy bulbs. Link to comment
blm1975 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 it all depnds on what you want to keep. You can buy an 18w PC light from Coralife. That should be good for colorful mushrooms and zoos. With that small a tank that is pretty much your options. Musrooms come in all different colors. enjoy. Link to comment
Mr. Fosi Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 How deep is the tank? Do a search for 20W coralife 50/50 screw in. Link to comment
fishy687 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 My tank is about 6.5 inches. I have ring of fire zoos and brown palys. Link to comment

PhatSOB Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I have a pair of them over my 1.6, only have some mushrooms and a zoa frag in there right now but ithey seem to be doing good. I have pics of how I set them up in my pico thread, see sig. Link to comment
Hekim Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 The 7 watts should be ok for zoa's and mushrooms, just get the bulb as close to the surface as safely possible Link to comment
