Happy Thanksgiving
I've been looking at adding more light to my small 12 gal. nano reef tank. I have a variety of soft corals, a birds nest and assorted zoas and polyps with one fan sponge.
Innovative Marine seems to add a pendant light that would work well with my situation, but I'm not sure of how many LED's, watts, I should be looking for in a 14" tank. They make a 8w model, then jump to a 30w model.
My local fish store has a used 30w model they used as a display on a 30 gal tank, and are offering a GREAT deal, less than half what they cost new so I was thinking about snapping it up, but am worried that it's way too much light and only do more harm than good.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks from a Newby!
