SunPod HQI Metal Halide Fixture
In a nano reef, compact fluorescent lighting is enough for lower-light corals and invertebrates such as mushrooms and zoanthids, but for more light-demanding stuff such as SPS and clams, you need more powerful lighting such as the SunPod HQI Metal Halide Fixture. Ideal for nano reef systems with SPS and other highly photosynthetic animals, the SunPod HQI provides 150 watts of brilliant light with 14000°K double-ended lamps.
The 24 gallon AquaPod HQI with SunPod.
The SunPod is perfect for nano reef aquariums like the 24 gallon AquaPod or Nano Cube that require high amounts of light. The SunPod fixture simply sits on the aquarium with the included docking mounts, reside inside a canopy, or it can even hang pendant-style over the aquarium. Additionally, highly-efficient cooling fans and an electronic ballast keep operation cool, so your nano reef's temperature isn't drastically affected by the usually-hot Metal Halide lighting.
And, if you need even more wattage, there is the SunPod Pro HQI, which provides 100 more watts of lighting than the regular SunPod HQI, for a total of 250 watts. This is more than enough lighting for even the most light-hungry nano reef critters, especially clams and SPS. Both versions of the SunPod include an integrated lunar light system with 6 blue and 6 white LEDs, so you can watch what goes on in your nano reef at night and encourage nocturnal behavior.
