Hi,
I have the stock lighting in my 24 Deluxe JBJ Nano (2 36 watt PCs and blue LEDs) but I am wanting to upgrade to hopefully make my children happier. Currently I have
zoas
frogspawn
a mysterious gorgonian (he rode in as a seemingly dead stick and the flourished ridiciously)
star polyps
ricordia
duncan
shrooms
And the newest addition I won in a raffle: an acan. It's currently in the bottom of my dad's 125 g with halides, but I want him in mine!
Is upgrading in my childrens best interest and if so, what should I go to?
Thanks for your time!

I love the JBJ HQIs, but that tank is very deliberately designed to handle the extra heat. I wouldn't put one in as a retro kit, even though I've sold them, unless you're willing to put on a chiller as well.

The duncans will really appreciate better light, too, but other than for those 2, I'd stick with what you have rather than upsetting the apple cart. Just my $0.02.

Excellent point. I've been considering getting a chiller anyways as my tank runs about 81 even with my heater for some reason. Thanks for the response!
