I currently have a 40 breeder set-up with live rock(about 80lbs) and a few corals..I have 175 MH and a canister filter...cc for substrate..etc..Anyway this is not about this tank..I want to setup a 60 hex ( all the space i have left) I plan on going to the dsb and lr along with a refugium..Is a 400watt Mh pendant good enough for light penetration I want a couple of clams and some soft corals..My local store said I need more..The other dispute is over the cylce time..I want to take it slow and let the sand and the live rock cyle Is a couple of months too long before adding any coral,clams etc..I don;t want to rush into it..He was trying to tell me Not to go with the dsb and spend over 500 on a wet/dry skimmmer combo..Which I think is a waste of money..and also to go with cc for the substrate..I used to work retail 5 yrs ago and at that time that was the norm...but times have definitely changed, and in my opinion the more natural way is better. and Comments..???
