hello again, my lighting question is this. i am an electrition( as well as a fireman) and am working with metal halides all the time.. i was wondering are they the same type you would use on a tank or woult the commercially available lamps and ballests be too hot for a reef tank?
i now have a coralife 2x96watt pc fixture in a 50 breeder fowlr and was thinking of toying with a few soft corals. what do you guys think? also if you could suggest some begginer corals that would be great
ohh the tank is about two months old 65lbs of L/R, an a-miricle wet dry, corlife uv strilizer, as well as a skimmer two powerheads and two returns from the sump(one big one small-for the uv)
stock
one clown
one yellow belly damsel
5 hermit crabs
5 turbo snailt
i know it is a little early for corals but want to do my research first....also how long do you think i should wate?
peramiters are amonia-0 nitrite-0 nitrate-10 sg-1.025 ph-8-2
any feedback would be appreciated
