    Purple Lobster

    What do you guys think about putting a small purple lobster in a tank? Would I have any trouble with it aggitating other tank mates? ( I have a clown, yellow tang, 2 damsels, cleaner shrimp, and cucumber) Thanks

    Clown, is this normal?

    I have a 2-3 year old Cin. Clown, I just put him in the tank about 3 weeks ago, but everyday I see him whipping his tail in my sandbed. He has moved quite a bit of the sand around. I think he might just be carving out his place in the tank but I don't know for sure. Any ideas?

    12k Sunburst Bulbs

    Has anyone used these? How good are they? What kind of bulb do you guys recommend? I have a 38-gallon tank and a 175w MH light. I only have live rock and a couple of damsels...but will be adding corals soon.

    What fish?

    If my 38-gallon is too small for tangs, what fish will do well in it? I have some live rock.

    Tangs and more tangs

    Could I put a blue hippo tang in a 38-gallon with a sailfin tang? They would be the only 2 fish in the tank right now with a starfish and cleaner shrimp.

    Conversions please

    I am trying to get a general idea of how many "K" a bulb I could get at Home Depot might have. I have a 175w MH fixture, but since most bulbs only have wattage and lumens on them, I don't know how strong the bulb is. Can someone give me a formula for converting what I have into "K" or give me...

    Light Bulbs

    The bulb is a 90w. The fixture is 175w. I'm trying to get a feel for what the amount of lumens is generally in K or how I can figure that out.

    Light Bulbs

    I have a 38-gallon tank with a MH. My question is about the bulbs. How can a figure out how many "k" a bulb is if I only know that it is a 90w, 120v, with a light out put of 1280 lumens. I think there is some formula for figuring this out. If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate...
