I've had freshwater aquariums for a couple of years, but due to the amount of moving I've had to do in school, I haven't really had the chance to do a salty aquarium yet. I'd really like to try one, but the apartment I'll be living in has a 20 gallon limit per aquarium. Sooo, I'm thinking of trying my hand at a nano. I've been reading like crazy and really want to do this right .
Right now I'm most unclear on lighting. I'm interested in having corals eventually, so I'd like to get the appropriate light to begin with, but I think I'd like to stick with PC or T5. How do you decide what wattage or Kelvin, etc. to pick? I know it depends on the corals you have, but I don't really know what I'll want yet. I'd like to pick a light that will give me some choice down the road, but it doesn't have to support ALL corals. I'm looking at either a 10 gallon or 20 gallon long tank. What would you pick for lighting for either of those tanks?
Thanks!
