    Upgrading the lights in my tank for corals.

    Well, as far as specific corals... nothing is set in stone, but from what I have seen either on the net or in stores I like the Yellow Tube Coral, Lavendar Mushroom, Button Polyps, Candy Canes, Toadstool, Trumpets, and Plate Coral (short tentacled). So... if 3 wats per gallon is the rule of...

    Upgrading the lights in my tank for corals.

    Ok so I just got off the phone with the LFS that sold me this tank. So currently my lights are flourescents that are providing 48 watts of light. The upgraded lights they are offering to exchange for me are compact lights which consist of 2 bulbs (1 white, 1 blue) and that will provide 110 wats...

    Am I ready for a cleanup crew?

    Hey all, So this is the beginning of week 2 that I've had a pair of damsels in my tank. Since I started this tank 5 1/2 weeks ago, the water has always been crystal clear and I've performed 2 5 gallon water changes (its a 40 gallon tank). I am starting to notice on most of my rocks either a...

    Upgrading the lights in my tank for corals.

    Actually i have a couple of pics that hopefully illustrate what I'm looking for: Thats what the unit inside the hood looks like, so it would need to be a lighting sytem that could fit in there. This is the control panel on the top of the hood. I suppose if I would require a system that...

    Upgrading the lights in my tank for corals.

    Its not that the lights are $30... they are $30 more than the lights that I currently have.. what happened is the LFS set me up with a complete system but they did not have the lights at the time so they set me up with my current lights and said that I can exchange it when the good lights became...

    Upgrading the lights in my tank for corals.

    Hey all, So I'm thinking way in advance here but eventually I would want to upgrade the lights in my tank so that I could support corals. The tank that I own is a 40 gallon tank made by Jebo and its called a R375. It came with lights and a filtration system. What I would like to do is have some...

    Hmm... well if I don't do the sixline, would going back to the the idea of the single cardinalfish work? Or perhaps a zebra dartfish?

    Thanks for the input guys :) I can totally do a Coral Beauty or Lemonpeel over a Pygmy. A pair of clownfish would look nice IMO as well. I take it False Clowns would be ok? 3 of the same fish seems like to much of the same fish IMO... I like variety, so I would prefer to have only 2 of the same...

    Hey 1guydude when you said two fires and two skunks do you mean two cleaner shrimp? Just making sure 'cause I heard sometimes cleaner shrimp are called skunks lol. Also, are you suggesting two fires instead of the one fire and the one yellow clown? If I did get two fires, does it matter if one...

    My 40 gallon tank (pic thread updated 9/13).

    Wow I didn't realize damsels can be that mean! One of the fish stores advised me that the all blue one should be taken out before I add any other fish but the yellow tailed one should be okay. Do you agree? As soon as I get the chance I'll take the blue one into a store and see if they will give...
