Can I put a 7w light over a 0.5g tank and call it 14 WPG? Sure I could, but it doesn't mean much.

 

WPG rule breaks down on small tanks and very large tanks.

im gonna go with no. i have some sps under 18w but a 7w light is really really weak no matter how small the water volume is. upgrade to a 15w though and it might work with a monti.

yea, i know WPG is just a rule of thumb.

 

In his first post though he said if not a 7w if a 10w or 15w would work...I think a 15w would work alright. People try new things on here all the time so its worth a shot
