    LED for 5.5 gallon help please

    I have a tank 16" long 10" high 8" wide. I would like to start a reef. No sps but mushrooms, lps, zoas. Would a 12" 50/50 stunner strip work or Trulumen ? Any suggestions ? thanks

    Dang nerite snails

    I got some for the first time a few weeks ago. They are always in a pack in the upper corner of the tank. Even when I seperate them they find each other. Every now and then one is crawiling up a powerhead cord out of the water. Have you ever found any completely out of the tank ?

    compatible fish with clam

    The butterfly wiped out all my aptasia.I noticed a couple of aptasia came back and I was purposely not feeding mysis shrimp so the butterfly would eat the aptasia.

    Trulumes Pro Strip...Opinions please

    thanks for help. If I hung led canopies from ceiling she would hang me. Its really not as bright but its costing over $ 100 a month in electricity for the lights I have now. Two kids in college, trying to save wherever. Hoping with 3 rows it will be almost as bright.
