Trumpet coral?
Can a trumpet coral be kept in a nanocube with no modified lighting? They are pretty! WHat about a candycane?

Trumpet and CC are the same. I would not reccomend it. they usually prefer higher lighting. you usually need HO to VHO levels to keep most LPS.

yeah what size nano and lighting. I kept lps in my 24 pod with only 64 watts pc and they outgrew the tank pretty fast. I have moved all my lps to my bigger tank now. I am going softy only in the pod now but that is a choice not because they were not doing well. They are loving the mh tho. I had them high and low in the pod that is 18 inches deep and depth didn't seem to matter either. All did good what ever the placement.

These were my first LPS and they did fine with moderate flow but I'm not sure it mattered. I have 400W PC lights on my 150.
