I have a 20" Current Satellite 40W PC fixture sitting here burning a hole in my pocket, I need to use it for something. So, I got an idea today. Why not start a nano for propagation of softies such as Zoanthids, Mushrooms, and Ricordea.
Here is my idea. 10G tank, 40W 50/50 PC light, Agua Clear 50 filter, Maxi-Jet 600, simple wave timer, sand bed, & 15 lbs of live rock. I think I can do manual top offs a couple of times a week and do maybe 20% water changes weekly. Once cycled add some invertebrates and the soft corals mentioned above. Most likely no fish. I know it might not be the text book example of perfection, but could I propagate soft corals in such an environment? If not, what is it lacking?
