u mean at the tank or like a reef in the tank.... my petsmart doesnt sell swf only the supplies and stuff.. which sux b/c i can pretty much walk to the petsmart

corals...lol. And certain fish, like butterflies. I am thinking I'll do the FOWLR though. Reefs are cool but not great, and this wont be TOTAL FOWLR, I am still going to have clean-up crew, cleaner shrimps, and a FEW corals...and I think if I get a tank...thats bigger and I will-I am just going to use stock lights, because the corals I REALLY REALLY like dont need much light!!

Just the tank-empty. No petsmart has swf, but I do go there often for supplies-they're cheaper and closer than my LFS.

so my ? is what coral are you missing out on by using stock lights thats making debate about this?

[devildog01]

Most corals...LPS, SPS, leathers... But I really like mushrooms and zoos and that kind of thing-and those dont need much light!!

 

[treybomb]

no... well you can if u have enough of them on the tank...because like right now I have 160 watts but a 55 only comes with 80. I had to buy the extra strip.

will they split and grow throughout the tank??

 

[devildog01]

IDK, I dont think so, but I could be mistaken... Honestly, I dont know a WHOLE LOT about them, enough to keep them alive, but I am not an expert on them by any means. We both have some research to do...

 

[devildog01]

I am kicking myself everyday in the butt for not getting that tube anemone and getting that stupid yellow tang that I got rid of.

 

[treybomb]

do u know if they are all that color?

 

[devildog01]

They vary from pink to green to purple to brown...they're all over the color spectrum.

 

[devildog01]

However, they're ALL VERY PRETTY. Even the brown ones!
