    hi, i have a 20G high nano (interpet river reef 94) came with 2x 36watt T5's. they look like PC's as 1 is a split white and actinic bulb and the other is 2 white bulbs. sorry if this sounds daft but i am by no means a light expert. i've read on another post t5's are good for a depth of 20" and mine is a 20" deep tank. would this light be any good for keeping a montipora and a frogspawn if i place them high in the tank?

    Nice tank and welcome to 3reef.

    I think that a frogspawn woul dbe okay if higher in the tank with the right flow. I have the same tank size with pc's and keep hammer coral midway down just fine. I also recently got a montipora and am not sure how it will do. Someone else will more than likely chime in.

    Good luck
