What's a good led bulb ? I heard par 30 or 38 bulbs. What's your opinion? Thanks. I wanna be able to grow any type of coral. My tank is only 10 gallons. Standard tank.

I'm unsure, I'm going to head by my local store " Coral Reef" and they should know. Ill let ya know what they say and if it is possible to have in both systems.

These small white dots are randomly dispersed throughout my tank, I usually have to scrape them off, they kinda look like tiny white conical shells, and idea, and can they stay or should I continue to scrape them off during water changes ?

They are looking better today ! And I'm sure they would look a lot better with a better light source. Guess ill have to continue to save and get one soon.

Here is a link to the product, I'm unsure about light source, all I know is that it is an led. The guy at my local fish store said it would be adequate for soft coral. But it's my first tank and I'm learning as I go.

It is actually frogspawn, my bad. And here is a pic of my crappy light source. And I bought a new power head to increase flow, it seems to help

Just wanted to know if my coral looked healthy? They haven't been growing any just looking the same every day. The pics are below, I know the GSP is suppose to spread, but I'm not sure about growth pattern of torch coral. Thanks for opinions.

Ok, thanks for all the advice, ill move them to bottom of tank out of direct light and see what happens.

Why are my xenias doing poorly ? For the first 3 weeks they were great it seemed, now they are fully constricted and look pitiful. I moved them towards light source as a last act of a desperate man, which also has good water flow. The water temp is at 78.5, is that too high ?

Ever now and then I see a long purple leg with an orange tip stick out from my live rock then it goes back in. Just curious as to what it belongs to. Is it a worm ? A starfish ? Who knows, not me. I never bought either of those things.

I need to increase my water flow in my tank it's only 10 gal but my filter isn't doing a great job, and cheap suggestions ? I stress cheap. Lol.

I just spotted multiple tiny, insect like creatures in my tank. They are approx. 1 to 2 cm long, transparent, multiple legs and 2 antennae. They crawl on my live rock and I'm curious as to what they are and if they are harmful. If so how do I get rid of them and keep they away. Thanks.

Thanks, I guess I'm wanting something overnight that obviously takes time.

How can I influence my GSP to move from frag onto live rock. It seems to just be growing vertically.

10 gallon and I'm not sure of light power. It's some small LED bulbs
