Which light penetrates deeper in the water...the 2 "C" cell flashlihgt or the 4"D" cell flashlight? That is basically the difference.... What portions of the light are actually reaching the bottom of the tank is what is important...the quality of the light down below...

Dont add a fish until your cycle is well over...infact..dont add anymore livestock until the cycle is over... You will have algae's during your cycle...you have a ton of nutrients in the tank right now for them to thrive...once the cycle is complete...do a water change and begin your routine...

The damsel will stress the trigger and nip its fins and sides...
