    29 Gallon Reef

    Hey, get some FInger leathers. They are so very hardy and grow very rapidly, and are very easy to propogate, and split. The same about Mushrooms. They are relatively cheaper and grow rapidly and can be split often to double+ the amount you started with. Colt corals are very hardy too and does...

    with PC bulbs, i would say, 6-7 watts per gallon. altough water par gallon isnt a good esamit, because it depends on how old the bulb it, what kinds your using, what kind of fixtur/ballast and reflector.

    you CC is the cuprit, CC trapes uneaten foods and turns them into Nitrates, then into phosphates, TAKE OUT THE CC and replace it with live sand. CC is the root of all evil in the marine hobby, :) and you dont have enough lights, PC bulbs arent good for larger tanks, DO research on "VHO" bulbs...
