I want to up grade the lighting for my 24 gallon JBJ Nanocube to the Viper Halide Light. In my tank i have Torch Coral, Frog Spawn and lots of Zoanthids. How much wattage do i need? i dont want to fry my corals!!!!

Thanks for your help!

I have a 150 MH and 36 watts of actinic on my JBJ 28. I would go with the 150, but either 150 or 75 you are likely to need a chiller.

Cool already have the chiller and am planning to get the one with the fan built in to the set up! Thanks!

I agree either will likely work, I would probably be inclined to go with the 150

Good luck
