finnex 8?

Tank dimension: 15.75" x 10.25" x 11.80" high
Tank style & material: round corner glass tank (5mm glass)
Lighting: 24W power compact fluorescent lighting, silver aluminum hood, with
polished reflector, acrylic lens. 50/50 daylight/actinic blue bulb
Filter: hang on filter, 63 gallon per hour flow, sponge and carbon cartridge filtration...................all for $65 @ premium aquatics.

is this a good tank? is the lighting sufficient enough to keep zoas, shrooms, ricordia, neon green candy cane, toadstool, and hammer coral?

in a 8 gal it should be you can always upgrade or email the guys at finnex and ask them if they have a upgrade on the lights for it.

if you want to have stuff in it that needs more light then go for the 6 w per gal rule so you would need 48 w by that rule .

you could always get a clip on mh light 70w would do great and you could put just about anything in there
it all depends on what plans you have for it
