hi all, as i'm having a small nano cube.. the lighting provided is only a PL 11W... my tank is 35L... is this light sufficient to keep corals such as zoa, hammer, bubble? seems a little too weak but i hav no experience in changing to another lamp...

Hi, me not expert in lighting. Think apart from the intensity(W), the wavelength of the light also plays a part in keeping your coral healthy and growing. Hope more experienced reefers can help in your queries. Maybe you can try asking the LFS owners. They should be helpful, especially when they know business is coming but then, check a few rather than just one shop....hehe. All the best.

hi... its abt 1 ft i guess... i hav some lr in there which i can stack any corals onto them... this would make them shallower..
