Starting a saltwater 30gallon

[10gal_nano]

Could I have one on a ten? Would it be good when I go to a 20?

Yes and yes, on the ten it's going to be a TON of light though so you may have to mount it a little higher than normal and dim it all the way down, but it will work for both.

You mean something like this?

Same company, that one looks like a new unit that I haven't seen before.

The blue/white ones are about $25 cheaper

So hows it work? I have to find a way to hang it up?

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

They come with a wire mounting kit, a lot if people use a piece of bent conduit or a hanging plant holder to hang them from

Hmm, I may not do coral. If I'm going to be spending that much just on lighting, I wanna go for a big tank as well. I think I'll just set money aside in my saving so I can get a nice big piece together. I'd still like a saltwater tank though, get some colorful fish in it etc since I already have two fresh waters

Where I work there's a 1,400gallon tank with coral and such, I may be able to talk to the maintenance aquarium company that deals with the filters and see if they can provide any discount items on this stuff
