Leathers are not sps, they are soft corals. Birdsnest is sps though I believe. 90gph is pretty good! But eventually you may want more flow and/or directional flow. Especially for SPS corals. The 90gph going straight down might not be optimal.

Qube said:I would look into an additional power head to get some more flow and surface agitation. Take a look at the Hydor Koralia Nano 425. It's super small, and while it just wasn't enough for my 28g cube, it would be perfect for your tank! If you place it on the opposite side from your filter and aim it up a bit, you should be good to go! Oh, and they're cheap! Right around $30 online.

Convict2161 said:A glass top will deflect some light, about 4% of the light will be deflected, also as moisture builds up and you get condensation those droplets of water will further deflect and absorb light. Not to deter you from using a top just wanted you to have this information.
Bearchumjs said:That's what I figured. I don't have any coral yet, but I'll see what happens and if I have to remove it.
Convict2161 said:Just remember you have a powerful light for that little tank so it might not even matter. If it was a Par30 maybe but the Par38 your probably getting a lot of light even with the top. I just wanted to share a bit of information
Bearchumjs said:Thank you! I can always lower it or raise a little if I need to also! Can't wait!
Guess what today is guys!? Fish day!!
