the sun is a lot stronger than most people think. if you think about it this way, the sun penetrates about 100 feet into the ocean. the reason for the super lights as you call them is becuase they replicate sunlight. many corals and anemones have photosynthetic organisms in them which are...

thanks for your feedback and i am looking forward to hearing other peoples opinions. one more question. when you know you are goin to buy two fish, is it better to buy on at a time or both, and into them to the tank at the same time

I am asking everyones opinion on this one. i have a 75 gallon reef, fairly established, with only one fish a lawnmower blenny, would a purple and yellow tang be ok in it? i was thinking about getting both at my LFS cuz he was selling both for 60 bucks and they were only 1/2 an inch. thanks...
