Made an impulse buy today at the frag swap in RI. To good of a deal to pass up on something I have always wanted. I am ready for the challenge knowing it being small.
What size can they get to?
Interested in the flow of which way can irritate it? (Does it like flow from the side of the shell or right down the middle when it opens)
Is 4x39w T5s strong enough light on the high end of the tank going to be good enough to keep it healthy?
It seemed happy when I got it in the tank. I heard it is not good to pound with heavy lighting to start, but it was under a MH at the show. So light intensity is not an upgrade to it.
Floor is open for opinions, discussion, and ideas. Thanks

The T5 will be fine. I've always kept my maximas at the bottom off the tank with just medium flow. You'll know if it's not happy.
 
Okay good to know about the lights ✅
Is the sand bed better so it can bury itself?
