Here are some picks!!!
The fisrt one is a sort of bug mayby a copepod that is infesting my tank! I got like a million, plz ID!!!
The rest are some random pics, my clam, my corals that wont stick to the live rock, my feather duster whom shed it's feathers... I know the pics aren't great because of the lights I have, what should I get? I'm already getting a 400MH for my 40 gal coral tank, can I use a 400W MH with proper ventilation without cooking my 10 gal?

 

[patrick8929]

that will cook your 10 gallon for sure 100 watts would be good enough for anything. those soft corals wont live with the light you have right now

 

[ocyoo]

Tell me what you think even if I don't have good lighitng!

 

[ocyoo]

So should I get T5HO 1 actinic blue and 1 daylight instead? Length: 18 inches?

 

[patrick8929]

well it looks good but those corals will probably never fully open. and t5ho would be perfect i would get like a 20 inch tho. my set up has six bulbs but you dont need that. 2 daylights and 2 actinics would be good

 

[patrick8929]

the clip on viper mh would be good to

 

[ocyoo]

Why they wont fully open, because of the light?

 

[patrick8929]

yep

 

[ocyoo]

I'm thinking of getting 4x48" T5HO lights total of 216W
and will 400w MH for a 55 gal be enough?

 

[patrick8929]

yes but the 280 watts on that 10 gallon will heat and fry everything. like i said 100 watts will be enough

ocyoo: where i Canada you from?

 

[ocyoo]

Quebec. Live rock in Canada, Quebec is soo expensive! Premium fiji is 12$ a pound, le lowest I've seen is 7$ in special for normal fiji...

 

[fatcat]

WOW, i'm from Ontario near toronto i pay between $3-$6LBS.

 

[fish4rudy]

Ditch the hydrometer and spend the money for a refractometer. I also second the point that you need way better light.I guess that i am spoiled being in Florida where everything is a short drive away.

!!! LOL! If I dirve to the closest saltwater source(the Atlantic Ocean), all I can find is seaweed, coldwater clams and other crap! I ordered 400w MH 6500k!
