Hey everyone, I got a few questions on building a lighting fixture for my 29 gal FOWLR. Could I buy a flouresant fixture from Home Depot (2x20 watt T12 I believe, or T15 if there is such a thing) and a Metal Halide fixture that an electrician friend of mine hooked up? I'm not too sure if there...

Would it be okay to add a small starfish and some opihi to my 29 gal. tank? What does the starfish eat? Any laws against taking starfish from the ocean? Not too sure what the english name for an opihi is, maybe someone from Hawaii can answer that.

I'm coming in contact with some fresh live rock(straight from the ocean, transport time will be about 30 min) Should I put it into a diff. container first? If I need to quarantine it first can I do this: Put it in a 5 gal. bucket with newly mixed saltwater and a powerhead? What should the...
