    iv got my sw set up and the light im running is a power-glo 24" 20w t8. Now will this work for my reef tank(25gal 29.3/4 x 11.5x15) like hagen says it will and would adding the marine-glo be worth it? Im allready about 2 inches from the dog house so im hoping there is a way to use the current fixtures.
    Thanks
    Aaron

    the lighting will be your most expensive part of your reef.if your not ready to spend on lighting,you may want to wait a while or maybe start the tank and add the live rock.and save up for a decent fixture before getting coral.you can still have live rock and fish with the light your tank came with but you may want to get a sw bulb
