new 20L tank

[jthedges]

hey guys, i upgraded to a 20L today, because my clownfish seemed a little cramped. i have 30 pounds of live sand and about 10 pounds of live rock in there, im going to buy some live rock from somewhere and cycle it in my old 10gal tank to bring the live rock to about 15-20 pounds.

what kind of light and wattage should i think about if i want to have some nice corals, but probably not the hard ones. i like the pc's i have now, but what wattage should i look to achieve?

2 400 watt halides..j/k any pc would be fine

haha, maybe if i wanted to boil that water...

i currently have a 65w PC on there and a 20 watt NO bulb in a separate strip. but im thinking about upgrading to the 130w strip. thoughts?

I have 4x24 t5 on my tank.
1 10,000
1 aquablue plus
2 antic plus

its not really about watts per gallon. I would get a little t5 on that thing. You can keep the tank cool have a lot of lighting options and keep just about anything you wanted.

I have a 250w metal halide and two 24'' T5 actinics over my 20L. 4 T5's would do the job very well IMO. I went alittle overboard! LMAO! Got any pics of the setup?
