    I have a 29gal tank that I would eventually like to house some soft corals and an anemone. I need advise on the proper lighting to sustain these creatures, if possible. What would be a good lighting setup for a 29gal. I have read and read on these boards trying to get a good idea, but man it gets way too complicated. I seem to get it to some point but I can't quit put it into a working form. Any advice would be great. ;D

    It all depend on how much you are willing to spend, MH would be most aquarist choice
    but the T-5 ho could be a cheaper alternative, there is a wide variety of soft corals you can keep under this lights, now hard corals Ive haven't hear as of yet
