Salutations! Glad to see you found way here!

Ask a question and you will often get lots of answers, esp about light, as we have all experienced success with it at different levels, depending on what we were keeping.

Fish are not really an issue. If you are just going to keep soft corals, you can get by with little. I have about 2 wats per gallon in my Nano (1 24w 50/50) and kenya trees, finger leather, zoa's are doing great. Even have a couple small BTA's (not recommended) - living in there as well. Not really thriving, but living.

As long as you are not going to be getting into sps right away, experiment a little...

Good Luck...
