    How do you spot feed?

    Spot feeding is done by placing the food in direct contact or in clost proximity with the item you are trying to feed. By means of your hands, tongs, turkey baster, power head. I spot feed my anemone three times a week by hand w/ shrimp. Hope this helps tak

    A few questions

    Sound like you are doing good on the live rock and i would add more to. Some people say you can't put a anemone into a tank that has not been established for at least six months.

    I do not think you will need one in a 20 gal. qt tank. You can tell by the g.p.h. turn over on the skimmer and the filter system. sound like you are ok. Tak

    lighting on a 55 gallon

    I think that if you went with the two 96wt. pc and the two 175wt 20000k you would do just fine on a 55gal. It would be around 9.8 wt, per gal. You should be able to do sps and even clams if you would like. Tak
