Great tank! What is your lighting?

 

[black99l]

nice looking 20, everyday i am getting more and more tempted to get a 20L. nice looking tank :cheer:

 

[kingbrd1]

Thanks everybody, it's much smaller than I had wanted and had planned, but you go with what you can get.

Anyway lighting is the thing I forgot to write. It's 135W PC corallife, 65W actinic and 65W 10,000K. It's actually a pretty decent light setup, if I get some woodwaorking tools I'd like to set up a MH hood at some point but I think this is pretty good for now. Again thanks.

not to sound like a jerk but it's only 130 watts. Is that caribbean Live rock. If so do you like it? I have some and I can't make up my mind about it.

 

[kingbrd1]

Doh, math major and everything..:notsure: ..it's the simple stuff I guess....too many 5's floating around?.....ok I got no excuse. Yeah I believe it is caribean LR. I like the flatness of it, it makes it a little easier to stack and still get some caves in there for the fish and anything else that likes to hide, maybe I should have gotten some fiji in there too, I'll see what the LFS has later on this week. Again thanks for helping me overcome the math error.....I think I need counseling.

nice looking tank?
just wondering is the calvularia an encrusting gorgonian or a type of clove polyp/xenia?

 

[kingbrd1]

It's in the same family as a green star polyp but has a smaller center and hairy fingers while GSP do not. I've looked in my coral book and they mention them on the same page. But I've had it for about 3 weeks or so and it's already sprading across the rock it came on.
