    What is the best choice?

    Hi, I'm new to clams. I have a 46g bow that is set up reef with a 250w MH and 2x96 PC actinics. I would assume this is enough for most clams? Are there certain varieties that prefer to live on the live rock as opposed to the sand? Which is the most n00b friendly?

    What kind of lighting would I need?

    My dad is thinking about getting some coral for his tank. It's a standard 55g that has been set up for 6 years or so as a FOWLR. He wants soft coral and maybe some LPS. Would a 4x65w (260w total) PC light be sufficient for softies and LPS if they are half way up or higher? What wattage should I...

    Lighting question for 10g mini-reef

    Well, I have about 450w over my 46g bow. I figured the 10g is pretty shallow and I wouldn't need MH, so I stuck with the PC. I know some people use Halides on 10g's, but I'm not putting SPS in there.

    So I got a pretty good deal on the PC light. it's the 2x40 with moonlights and a fan. I'll post some pictures soon if anybody wants. Thanks for the feedback everybody.

    Lighting question for 10g mini-reef

    Hmm. I think I would rather have a new light, one with actinics. MH is great but costly, so I already ruled that out. As of now, there is no hood, but I will more than likely buy one. I'll keep my eye out for a used fixture though. Thanks. Anybody else want to chime in their $.02?

    Lighting question for 10g mini-reef

    Hi, I am setting up a little 10g. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to put in it yet, but probably some LPS and softies. It is the standard 20" wide. I was thinking of the 1x40 watt Satellite PC with moonlights. Cheap is good, but I also want a little quality. Thoughts?

    arrow crab

    I have an Arrow crab in my 46G (50-ish pounds of rockwork) with some damsels, hermits, Royal gramma, and a Condylactis anemone. He really doesn't roam, he just sits and eats a lot. I haven't seen him go for any of my fish yet, and I think he is too slow anyhow. Plus, aren't they one of the few...
