i dont think it is becase he said that is two 65 w cfs but i might be wrong

[blue71]

[abrahamavelar]

oh ok my bad i just saw 4 bulbs and i got confused my bad

[sebastio12]

This is the bulb Satellite Dual 65W Compact Fluorescent Lighting Current USA Satellite 30 inch Power Compact Light

What do you guys think?

[Jaybird]

That should give you about 4Watt per gallon. You would be fine with that. You may have some issues trying to keep SPS or clams, but everything else should be fine with that much light

Hey guys, I think I'm buying an AquaC remora protein skimmer? I was stuck between that and a Coralife super skimmer, the remora's twice the price but I want something I can use later on when I upgrade tanks. Is this a good choice?

Also, is the Koralite nano a good powerhead, or should I go with the Koralite 1?

[abrahamavelar]

ill go with the 1,also i heard that octopus is a good kind too and not a bad prize for wat its worth

If you plan on upgrading the tank, plan on a larger skimmer for that tank. If you have a 30G now and plan on getting a 55, or whatever else, in the future, get a skimmer that will handle that. I don't think it's possible to overskim.

Tell us what the water readings are. Can't just say "normal" and hope to figure out if anything is wrong and killing shrimp or fish.

P.S. Got a suspicion your nitrate readings are higher then optimal. Even though the tank was "established", may have stirred up some ammonia during the move. Again, take the readings and let us know.

Hey guys, I've been gone for a while, I even had to leave my tank behind cause we 'evacuated' for Ida. I will have to check my tank's levels, but I'm changing the substrate out soon, so I'll check it when this is done.
