Hello Everyone: My tank still cycling (40B Gl) and I was planning some Coral configuration on the future for my aquascaping, and I have one area with very low light on the right side. Any suggestion on which corals can be placed in that spot? I was thinking on sun coral or a Hammer maybe

I need ideas for cheap corals that will thrive in low light. I have a 100 gal with approx 120lbs of live rock. I have 2 250 watt 14K hamilton metal halides on the tank so its not that I dont have the lighting but I have ledges and caves in the rock that I would like to put corals in. I have...

lets beat the dead horse:deadhorse:.....again just wanting to know my light to coral range What wattage for a 10 gallon would be considered moderate to high lighting. I am getting this which has a total of 80 watts.. http://www.marineandreef.com/Satellite_2X40W_20_inch_Current_USA_p/rcu01012.htm

ok so right now i have 4 48" t5 bulbs overdriven with an icecap 660, and slr reflectors. my tank is mainly sps and im getting pretty good color and growth with the lights that i have. however i think it could be better, plus i want to do a dawn dusk lighting schedule and thats not possible...

I guess Ill move my progress of my clown tank to the right spot sense I put water in it today. So the 20L all in one is up and running or at least cycling. This tank will house my two clown fish and some low light corals as time goes by.

Does anyone have these lights or even heard of them??? If any of you have these what's the light output of these fixtures. are they anything like the T-5's or MH's?? LED lights 250 leds per light fixture

Ok so I have dabbled with aquariums for a few years now and an ready to take the next step. I want to go ahead and build a nice aquarium that can be used for corals and reef structures. I have a good idea on most of the parts, but the lighting is giving me problems. The dimensions of the tank...

This thread was started in the GRD area and got moved for me by Whiskey (Thank you). After finding and reading the rules, I came back to edit this post to list what my plans are for contents. It is a 12G Nano tank kit from Instant Ocean. Initial livestock: A Blue Damsel (Because I think...

Hey - I have a pink fungia plate (new - 5 days) that looks as if its skeleton is starting to showall across the top in bands running from the mouth to the rim . I don't know if it has always been this way or if this is a reaction to my tank. I kind of think maybe I bought it like this and the...

Hi Everyone! I'm planning to buy new lights for my tank in June and I have no idea whats the best kind for me or where is the best place to buy them? My tank is 6ft long 18 inches wide 150 gallon I have mostly soft corals with a few frogspawn candy cane and torches. The lights I have now are...

Ok - I was looking at another post (I already forgot who's) who had a great toadstool that had attached itself onto the glass... It got me thinking - my toadstool just doesn't seem to be happy in my tank. When I first brought it home - it was open for the first few weeks - then for the last few...

Hello all! Patrick wanted me to post some pictures of his tank for you all,.. here they are! :) Whiskey

Okay, so heres the deal. A few years ago I started a 10 gallon saltwater tank...bad idea I got frustrated lost alot of coral and fish, got frustrated and broke down the tank and got rid of it. Well now I am ready to start again, except this time I am starting a 55 gallon tank that I currently...
