lighting for a 8gal bio cube

[adams0816]

I just acquired a 8 gal oceanic bio cube & I was wondering if the 2 18 watt lights are enough or is there a retro kit for t-5 or even MH? Also what about the skimmer you can buy for it? I'm looking for ideas so I can get an idea what I can put in the tank. Thanks in advance.

Does this meen that i should keep the pc's ?

there is no T5 retro that small, and a closed-top MH over a small tank would almost certainly require a chiller - so your looking at allot of moolah...

Id keep it at stock lighting and do softies...

and I believe Sapphire makes a Biocube-specific series of skimmers that fit in the back compartment... Check Nanotuners or Nanocustoms...
