20 gallon

[UnderwaterWorld]

So I'm think of getting the Sundial for a 20 gallon

24" SunDial T5HO 4x24watt2-10k/2-460nm actinics212-Rotary24.125" x 9.5" x 3.75"

It has individual reflectors like the Pros do just 4 bulbs,built in timers and moonlights.

What would I be able to keep with it?
It's $190 w/ shipping

Good idea?

I could replace with some better bulbs eventually

Thanks!

I think anything you want, but I'll let light experts say for sure.

 

[UnderwaterWorld]

yea I was thinking anything, but good thinking

thanks for answering!

That will give you a little over 4 watts per gallon.
I'd say that it borderline with high light corals like SPS.But most LPS and 99.9% of the soft corals should be good.
Reef will have a better idea on that,he's the resident lighting expert.

4.8 watts per gallon

Alright thanks, "waits for reeffreak"

I also don't think it'd be enough for SPS or anemones. Crocea clams, maybe. But LPS and softies, definitely.

What if I replaced the stock bulbs?

 

[reeffreak]

Everything should be fine.I would keep the SPS off the sand bed though.Replacing the bulbs would be even better if you chose to do so.

I'm going to replace the Actinics right away because I just found a good deal on two of them. The others will wait until I find a deal or wait for a while. Thanks for the help!!
