I am currently building a hood and light for my tank... got everything working except for two or the lights. They work on a different circuit so it is different then the other light I have assembled in the hood. It is two 17W lights built with a ballast and a common household switch. I need help...

I know what corals are and they are sometimes separated from the rock, I know you can get these from the store for a tank and not have any Live Rock. I know that much, just not too much about the plants or algae as I was corrected earlier. I do have 130W subcompact, but with 20k not 10k as I...

What do they attach to? I have live sand and dead coral remains, I mean, say I go out and buy them, how do I put them in the tank?

no, like bigger plants that wave in the current, as you can see I don't know much about them... one question, why are corals borderline?

No Picture right now, but I have glass in between the water and the lights so as not to get all that water and salt on the bulbs and heat out of the water... it is very jerry rigged right now and I am looking for a cheap and easy fix to block us from blindness from the bright bulbs...

I have a 48" light fixture that has 2 24" bulbs in it. I bought it with the aquarium set that was named for saltwater use. I know I can have an all-fish tank with no inverts or coral or anything, but how do I know if that fixture can handle better bulbs. What do I look for?

I have a 55 Gallon Saltwater Tank with an Emperor 400 Power Filter, Penguin 550 Power Head, Excaliber Protein Skimmer, Live Sand, and a terrible lighting system, at least I think... that is what I need help on... I have a 40W with 2 24 inch bulbs...I need to know if this is good enough of do I...
