All i feed my zoas are 300 watts of 14k metal halides.

Thanks! I figured it was ok. Just wanted to be 100%.

Just placed an order on SWF.com. 20 nass. snails, 10 astreas, 1 candy cane, 1 cleaner shrimp. Receiving 2 emerald crabs free and 1 cleaner shrimp free. Is it ok to acclimate all these in 1 bucket?

Bionic works for me. I just cant get my levels above 8.6dkh and 400 calcium. I never tried increasing the dosage though.

FishtownUSA in Queens has Kaelini LR for $3.99/lb. Might wanna check them out.

Originally Posted by ryanhayes9 i would put a glass top on it and then set the light on legs on the glass That would not be a good idea IMO. What if the glass breaks from the weight of the fixture? Youll give your fish the shock treatment. Me personally i would go with the 30" light and lose...
