36" coralife 2x96 watt pc on a 29 gallon tank

not enough light for a nem

 

Ok so what do I need to support a nem then? T5?

 

Oh nice, thanks bloodkip.

 

Depends on the nem to be honest
there are some nems that require less light than others


but T5 would be a better option if your aiming to keep SPS corals IME

Well I'm getting a pretty good deal (I think) on the pc fixture.

 

there are a lot of corals that will do extremely well under that PC fixture

most softies would be great
GSP, Zoanthids, Palys, Anthellia, Xenia, shrooms, leathers, LPS corals , hammer, frogspawn, brain, torch, Elegance etc

a nice torch coral is every bit as beautiful as a nem IMHO and is hardier and more importantly, unable to move through your tank and sting anything in its path

Steve

 

Wouldn't most clowns host frogspawn and torches as well?

 

I have had true and false percs host various different corals including Elegance, Torch, hairy mushrooms, Anthellia
in the absence of a Nem, they will find somewhere to call home IME

Although in many peoples opinions this is not always great news for the coral concerned

My clowns host the upper right corner of the tank and my tank cleaner bar.
