mquag7 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I wanted to setup a tank with some polyps, mushroom corals and soft corals. A 20 gallon tank. what would be the best lighting to buy. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 130w power compacts...like this one...but of course everyone will also say metal halides if you want awesome color and you will probably want to expand to sps and clams anyway (and i think i might have to agree w/ that).

TimsVw Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 with those corals it is atinics that will give you the color. Go with the compacts. If you want the SPS's go with hallides. -tim Link to comment
