    quick lighting question (actinic)

    I have a 30" light fixture that came with my 29g that has a crappy old light in it, I was curious if I get a 30" actinic bulb if it would work in it. The light is just a standard one taht came with a hood in the setup. (used) I really want a seperate actinic light cuz right now mine is a 50/50 :(

    Live rock in HOB?

    I figure this is the best place to ask this. I think i keep seeing where people take a HOB filter and take out the filter cartridges and then pack the area previously containing the cartridge with live rock. Is this good? Will it work?
