do crustaceans need special light?

[Joeyb1731]

My 12 gallon nano is almost cycled ( im in my nitrite spike). Once it cycles I wanted to get a small shrimp or something. I have an eclipse kit and I made it a FOWLR because the lighting is not good for corals. Do I need any special light or will my power compact 13 watt be good for the crustaceans?

What you have will be fine. They're not photosynthetic.

Not stupid at all! How else does one learn??

The only stupid question is the one not asked for fear of sounding stupid.

And it's always better to make sure you know a creature's needs before you go and buy it
