    Scooter Blenny dying

    Low-light clam?

    Hey, are there any Tridacna clams that don't need really high light? I have power compacts and I know that Squamosas don't need the same lights as maximas. If I put one in the upper portion of my tank, would it work?

    Hqi

    What does Hqi mean in a metal halide? Is it better to have hqi bulbs or not? Will sps and clams do better with hqi? I'm looking into the biocube 29g hqi and I don't understand the difference. Thanks for the help in advance.

    copepods

    I had a ton of copepods on the glass of my 8 gallon nano a few weeks ago, but now I can't find any. Today i read that bristleworms will eat microcrustaceans. Does this include copepods? In my tank I have an extreme misbar clownfish, a pulsing xenia, a colt coral, a small green star polyp...
