What can i keep with this

[Clink51]

So about a week ago i purchased a setup from a membe that included a Coralife 2 x 65watt PC light. i have a 29g and the coralife is 24inches long (the legs are in the mail). what can i keep with this setup? im really just aiming for Zoas as i love the colors (can you tell im new?)

20Gallons is rough. I started a 34 gallon and started to research fish that would fit in the tank. The list was so lame that before the 34 gallon finished with the ammonia cycle I upgraded to 120 gallons.

Maybe make a cool mini reef tank and leave out fish? I'm sure clown fish could survive as long as they had a place to host.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine.

hmmm okay i guess i didnt explain correctly LOL. my bad.

I want to know what corals (Softies, LPS, SPS) i can keep in this tank with this lighting. Salt stays at about 1.025. Temp flux between 77.1-78.5.

softies, lps - yes...may not get the popping colors though...but it's suffice

some sps maybe if it's high enough...

That's roughly the same lighting found in an old Biocube - anything that could be kept in them, you should also be able to keep. Softies and leathers should be ok, as well as Zoas and Mushrooms. You could try some LPS down the road but I wouldn't start with it. As was mentioned earlier you're not going to get much of the fluorescent "pop" with that fixture, which is something you'll definitely notice on your Zoas. You may want to look into a stunner strip if you're aiming for more of that actinic glow.

Change the bulbs before u put anything in the tank.
