    Bare Bottom Reef Tank?

    No bare bottom tanks are fine.... Some time fish waste gets trapped in the sand and if left un-noticed it can decopose and fowl your water..... I ran my tank (29gal) bare bottom for a while but I eventually wanted sand for my crabs... Some people are against BB tanks because they look...

    PC lighting

    Well I understand what your mean the rocks and substrate displaces alot of the water..... The watt per gallon rule refers to the tanks capaccity and not to the water volume... PC lighting is great for the softies like you mentioned... Although I would not add the harder corals without...

    PH problem need help!

    I agree.... sounds like your overstocked. To bad you cant post a pic so someone here can make that judgement 4 you....... If all your fish are dead your corals are probably not doing well they may soon turn dull in color, close up or may even die off.... Inverts such as corals are far more...
