Fluval Spec V

Post by Ladner8503 » Sat Feb 07, 2015 10:36 am

I am starting a nano next week. Tank is on its way and I will be ordering equipment to add a small ATO system. Needing a little advice on lighting though. I was thinking of ordering two small Par30 or Par38. Only corals I will have are mostly softies, may add a few SPS or LPS later on. Trying also to keep price down as low as possible, mainly to see how cheap you can actually go to have a nice nano reef. Unfortunately I will not be able to go to Gerwins to get anything for this tank as I'm in Oklahoma for the time being, unless he will ship me some stuff. Lol

I have one of those tanks I am tinkering around on now... I picked up one of these lights from Gerwin. I have to say, I am very impressed... that things puts out some kind of light!!
It is a Wave-point 12-Inch 16-Watt Super Blue and DaylightMicro Sun LED High Output Clamp Light.
