What is the best coral to grow with these lights. I know about next to nothing when it comes to coral. So the more information the better.
Depends on the size tank but id say ONLY softies, no LPS or SPS.
What exactly are softies? The tank is a 20 gallon long.
Yeah definitely only softies:
Mushrooms, Some zoanthids (some demand more light than others), Kenya tree, I believe some types of Ricordea as well.
Just go on Google and type in "Soft corals" theres a bunch out there.
Is there a different bulb I can get that would be better. I can't afford a hull new fixture.
Are any of these better?
The coralife light im not sure of, the T5 is good but you can't use that in the fixture you have I don't think
If it was a t5 fixture, a t8 wouldnt fit in it...
Tevin right? You can pick up dual bulb t5 fixtures out in st clairsville at pet supplies plus and I think petco at the highlands may carry them too but not sure you'd have to call. If you want a better selection you could go to aquaworld in Pittsburgh where they offer used and new equipment.
