reef lights

I have a 16 gallon bow. Guna order lighting soon was guna order the nova extreme t5x2 it has 18watt bulbs one is the blue antinac and the other is a 10000 daylight should i have two of these or will one be good. not sure on what i want to keep in the tank in know for now some inverts and some mushrooms polyps and maybee an open brain. Thank you also found some frags for $18

it als puts out 400-480nm

I would say if you can fit two of them on the tank go with two.

Definitely two. I retrofitted my 29 biocube and have 4 - 18" bulbs, two 10k daylight, two actinic. Really helps! Did you say you had visited Nanotuners website? Good folks great products. Good quality.

thanks, nope never been on that website. but i will have to check it out. Have any of u ordered from aquatic conections. They have some pretty good coral packages. Just wondering the quality. I have never orderd fish stuff ofline.

NOOO!! Do not order anything from AquaCON. Their pretty coral packages are just pictures they stole off people, they have a bad repuation of sending you either nothing and keeping your money or sending you dead, sick, dying, not what you ordered, etc. Bad bad place to deal with. LiveAquaria, BlueZoo Aquatics, Dr. Mac are all reputable to order from.

Don't forget Retro Reef!

Can you post a link to the light fixture. I want to see weather the bulbs are HO or not. If the lights are at least as good as PCs, you should also be able to keep Favia, Euphyllia, Pavona, I'm sure there are more I can't think of. I have kept these under very low lights with great results.

well another awesome place to order from is reef2reef.com

no link just type in google search nova extreme t5x2 HO and many links will pop up and this is why i like local forums people let u know the truth about who to order from thanks guys greatly appreciated. Almost made that mistake

You could also check TCMAS. Some of the people that sell frags frequently will ship.

With that light, you can keep most any coral. That does not mean throw any coral that strikes your fancy in there. Make sure that you are meeting all of a corals needs before adding one, not just lighting.
