    Questions about VHO's

    Pretty sure on another post, BangGuy stated using URI bulbs on a Icecap 660 ballast for VHO's, they can last up to 24 months before they will require a change. If anyone has other info, please correct me.

    VHO lighting tank pics?

    Sorry, thats what i ment, white atinic, some places on line call the URI "white atinics" 50/50s. You are right, they should be refered to a white actinic. Do you get alot of salt on your bulbs being 4" off the water? I keep mine about 6" off the water thinking it would reduce the salt. Maybe i...

    How do i acclimate mushrooms?

    Usually, i just put the shrooms in the tank, no acclimation at all. They are hearty!! As far as attaching them(if loose)....put them on the bottom in very low water flow or try putting a small piece of rubble rock in a bottom of a shallow drinking glass and put the shrooms on the rock. Than, set...

    Any suggestions???

    I really think you are limited to what you can add. You have VERY aggressive tennents and pretty much whatever you add will be beat up on at first. Maybe you can try a strawberry baslet or something on that order. If i were you, i'd ditch the damsels and the clown all together and try some less...

    Stocking plan

    I think your lighting is fine for the corals you are planning for. Also, the addition of a smaller LMB will work fine.

    38 Gallon Tank Question

    I forgot to add, not sure how long your tank has bee set up, but i would not add any angel to a tank that is less than six months old. For corals, you can keep: shrooms, toadstool, candycane coral, xenia,colt coral,green star polyps, button polyps...just to name a few.
