29 galon lighting question (1 Viewer)

[dirtdobber06]

My girlfriend and I are going to convert our newly set up 29 ga. (19x12x30) into a reef aquarium next year after we set up the 120 as a FOWLR. The lighting I have on it currently probably wont be strong enough (one CoraLife 10000K, and Coralife Blue Actinic.) Need suggestions for light. We want to do easy corals, anemones, and maybe eventually breed black and white false perculas. Any suggestions?

Easy corals have a different lighting requirement than anemones. With lighting sufficient for anemones, you can do high-end corals. Clown breeding does not have any special lighting requirements.

Note that it is easier to breed clowns without an anemone because you can see and remove the eggs easier.

I had 250W MH and 2 65W PC's over my 29.
