Do I have to have any special lighting for my corals when I get them or is the bulbs that came with the tank good? They are 18 watt.

I am not sure. I was just getting a idea because I only have 2 percs in my tank and would like corals and things. The pic here got me excited because it has a lot of things in the tank. I didnt think that I could put that much into it. So yes on the fire shrimp? No on the Lobster?
If you want a starfish get asteria or mini brittle starfish. Yes, you can put a fire shrimp in there but only if its going to be the only shrimp in there. No, you cant have a lobster in there because they get way to big and are very aggressive and can eat/kill your fish and shrimp.

The biocube comes with two 18 watt PC bulbs. This lighting is good for softies and some LPS that are placed higher up in the tank.

What bulbs do you have in your tank? I would like my tank to resemble yours.

Mine are the ones the biocube came with. I just change out the bulbs every 9-10 months and put in new ones that are the same as the old ones(same type of bulb).

Your tank is gorgeous. Do you have any other fish besides the clown?

Happy Birthday...
RICORDIAS.... IMO
Thats where I would begin. Depending on how much money you have to spend I would also look at some select rare zoa's not mass quantities couple of polyps, and lastly blasto's, aussie acans of some type... those would be my selections. Good Luck, and your tank looks awesome.

Yeah, I checked them out but their frags are way to big for my nano. LOL I'll just buy a few nice rics from Flricordia and maybe a few nice zoas.
