Corals in a Nano Tank?

[ASpec]

While I know it's possible what do you think about keeping maxima or a crocea in a 24 gallon Nano Cube with a 70 watt HQI fixture? I'm thinking about ordering a one of the new SunPods so I could possibly keep a few clams or maybe a Bubble Tip Anemone. Of course not until the tank has established and matured. Thoughts?

Since I broke down and sold my bigger tank I'm going to keep a Nano until we move later this summer and figure why not go all out and try for something beautiful!

That would be awesome and I think it would work great.

Casey,
Do you think 70W is enough for a clam? Might try one in my nano if you think so...hmmm...

Yes it isKeep em up high and get the less light demanding ones if you are nervous.

Casey, will the 70 watt HQI allow me to keep a maxima down in the sand, or do you think I'd need something like a 150 for this? I think clams look really good when placed in the sand bed. Thanks

well, if you put it by a west facing window that gets afternoon sun, THe clam that is Aquarium showcase in the front looks awesome under the afternoon sun.
