    Lighting for a 180

    I am in the process of setting up a 180dt. I plan on having mostly soft corals, with maybe a few lps, and possibly a clam. Will t-5's work for this? If I go that route, would I need two 36 inch light hoods? I haven't seen 72 inch long t-5 light hoods. Or would i be better going with metal halides?

    Maroon and Saddleback get along?

    I am in the process of setting up a 180 dt. I currently have a 24 aquapod and 29 gal biocube. I have a small saddleback in the 24 and a small maroon in the 29. My question is would a 180 be large enough for both of them to co-exist, or is the maroon still going to go after the saddleback.
