Newbie light question...

[inka]

Hi.

 

I am planning on setting up a nano reef really soon.

 

All thoses beautiful pictures really got my hoocked !

 

I just bought a 5.5 gallon tank and looking for some good lighting system.

 

I want to have some soft corals in there...

 

Would 2 fixture like this (total 36 watts) do the job ? Is this consider medium-high light ? It's 6.5 watts per gallon.

And just another quick question... Do you need to put a anemone in the tank if you choose to keep a clown fish ?? Is that mendatory?

I have a clown and do not have an anemone. you do not have to have one to have a clown. Anemones are really for more advanced hobbyists.
