I had the same issue, but eventually just decided to Hang it from the ceiling as it was easiest! Dimmable is always nice, but my lights aren't and my tank is very happy after they got adjusted to the light!

Look up EasyFlip in the members and send him a PM, he's got a pretty cool light and I think he's got a 20 as well.

I agree with Evan on those! I've got two as well but in my 10 so they alternate for day and night, kinda like tides. I love the magnets makes placement very simple and no worries about suction cup failure. Evans tank is an inspiration for sure!

Haha patience is key! And for me, try to save up for nice colony pieces! Colonies look so much better than frags haha. In my opinion

Well frags are small parts of a coral. A colony is the piece from which a coral is fragged! A colony of zoas is 100-200 polyps, while a frag is 10-20. A colony of frogspawn is 5+ heads (just using as an example) and a frag is one or two. What I would suggest is saving up for the bigger corals because that's what makes your tank look full! Having small frags everywhere doesn't look natural you know?

Yeah it's exciting! If you saw earlier in the thread, my tank look looked pretty bad, but as you get more coral, it makes any tank look good!

So I moved my frogspawn and my Wellso coral to make more room around my tank. Let me know what you guys think!
Also, My wellso is coloring up a ton! I think its getting healthier under the LEDs. I bought this thing damaged for 10$, and I think its making a nice comeback! Its hard to see in the photos, but it looks ALOT more colorful than before!
Sorry for the overhead pic! I was to lazy to turn off my PH and filter and all!
