Suggestions/Questions on My 22g Cube

jonreed · #1 01/06/2008, 02:23 AM

I have just finished setting up and cycling a 22g cube and have 2 questions:

- I have a 175w MH/2x28w PC pendant on it, does anyone think that that is overkill with the wattage per gallon? Any suggestions or concerns? I want to be able to keep anything in there but don't want to burn anything either.

- I would like to keep a clown and anemone in there but was urged not to. I haven't had any trouble with anemones in the past, but does anyone have any personal experience with keeping an anemone in a tank that small.

Thanks,

Jon

Dont worrie about watt's per gallon. A 175w MH is much more powerfull then 175watts of PC lighting so you cant really use wpg to compare. A 175w MH will be more then enought to keep anything you want to keep. I dont have any experience with anemones though. good luck.

thanks, but does anyone think that it's too much light for such a small tank?

i dont think it is...but you need to monitor your temps accordingly..i have a 250 de ocean light over my ap24 with a fan that blows across between the water and bulb to keep my temp in check

ok, will do. I haven't had a problem yet with it running around 6 to 6 1/2 hrs a day. thanks for the advice.
