 |  34 gal nano lights
Looking at getting a 34gal cube aquarium. Was wondering if the 24" current nova extreme T5HO 2x24w 10k daylight, 2x24w actinic would be enough lighting to keep softies in?
Thanks

Easily...esp. in Nano.
I only have single 24w 50/50 over my 12 gallon NanoCube and softies doing great in it.  
Even have some small BTA's to keep perc's happy. 
Chili in Nano... 
Your lighting much more effecient in a smaller tank.
Go for it!  _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)

yeah not sure with the exact setup your running but i know maintenance on my nano is bi-weekly cleaning of the foam pads the water passes through before the porceilin rings and carbon and bi-weekly changing of the carbon also i normally just rinse these in the bucket of water i drain off when i do the water change
has worked well for me so far | |

Thanks for the replies, I think I might wait for this light to come out, Ike's Blog: Sneak Peek...
That will fit the nano perfectly. | |
