20 Long Nem Tank Questions

[bmbpka]

Decided I have to many nems in my display, and I want to make a small 20 Long tank dedicated to them.

Suggestions on lights? I’ve read mixed reviews and forums on Nem only tanks.

Kessil A160 or A80 or a simple Par38 bulb is what I was thinking. Not sure if it will be enough. Thoughts?

progression so for on the tank

For a 20L, you'll probably want two A80s or A160s (assuming you're using the Kessil goosenec) for better spread, unless you plan to have all of the nems under directly under the light. It also depends on the anemone species you're planning to keep, as some like more light than others.

I was hoping to keep all the nems on that one rock, about 15” long x 8” wide. But we all know nems have a mind of their own.

mainly bubble tips, but would love to add some RFA for additional color pop. I’m a bare bottom tank person, so I’m not sure RFA or LTAs would thrive.
